I think this one was my favorite of the first three. The idea of time travel always gets me.

This might be where I bail. I just don‘t really care about Arthur Dent or any of his friends, regardless of what planet they are on.

A comfort re-read (or re-listen) for me. Appropriate for cricket season!
I do just love this series, I love the humour and the twists. It‘s so creative and never fails to make me happy.

This brings to an end the "The trilogy of five" Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It recovers some of the freshness that had lost with the last book, really enjoyed it, very good wrap up of the series. I'll definitely revisit it in the years to come, a good way to get some light, fun-chaotic reading. Might look for the BBC audios, if anyone knows where to find them!

Jas16 Great job! 9mo
catsuit_mango I know there is a vinyle of thé complete BBC audio, and i found the audio files but i can't remember where. 9mo
catsuit_mango You might also like the BBC adaptation from the 80s. The movie is nice but mostly fan service in comparison. 9mo

nanuska_153 @Jas16 thanks! I intend to tackle this month both Middlemarch and Villette so wish me luck 🤞🏻 9mo
nanuska_153 @catsuit_mango thanks so much for that, I watched the movie but didn't know there was a series. Will see if I find the vinyl it would make a nice addition to my collection ❤️ 9mo
Jas16 I loved Middlemarch! 🍀🍀 9mo

1. Space, the universe, etc.

2. The ability to completely dismiss evidence in favor of blind faith, greed, or selfishness

3. Animal intelligence

This was my least favourite of the series so far.It was the first that the author wrote as a novel and more or less he lazed his way through it until his editor locked him in a room and forced him to finish it. It shows xD He had the set up of the story,the questions he was going to ask and answer,where the story was going to finish,but the story goes wherever it wants to go and Douglas Adams seems to have no control over it. ⬇️

nanuska_153 Still made me laugh at loud, but it's definitely the weakest of the series. 11mo

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

1. Driving back to PA to have dinner with my parents and see some of my extended family.

2. Maybe it's recency bias, but French Exit in a way - the odd, cobbled-together group of friends and family gathering for one final party, reveling in each other's company even as they've descended into material ruin. There's a strain of gratitude beneath all the barbs.

1. Almost too many to pick just one, but since I'm looking at Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy right now I'll just say Zaphod Beeblebrox.

2. Keeping with the Hitchhiker's theme, I suppose 'So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish' is pretty unusual 🐬

Tagging anyone who's interested! ✋️

julesG #2 was on my mind too 1y

wanderinglynn Zaphod! 🙌🏻 Lots of great (weird) names in HHGTTG 1y
Ruthiella Awesome! Perfect choice for both questions. 😂 1y

After thinking we had a gas leak only to find out it's probably a dead animal in our crawl space, I need something fun to distract me from all of the reality this Monday has caused. #SciFiSummer
