(Five Complete Novels)
by
Douglas Adams
-815 pages-
The Plan:
The first 3 novels will be read for this month's discussion.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (book 1)
Seconds before the Earth is demolished for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is saved by Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised Guide. Together they stick out their thumbs to the stars and begin a wild journey through time and space.
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (book 2)
Facing annihilation at the hands of warmongers is a curious time to crave tea. It could only happen to the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his comrades as they hurtle across the galaxy in a desperate search for a place to eat.
Life, the Universe and Everything (book 3)
The unhappy inhabitants of planet Krikkit are sick of looking at the night sky–so they plan to destroy it.
The universe, that is. Now only five individuals can avert Armageddon: mild-mannered Arthur Dent and his stalwart crew.
- First off, don't forget your towel and DON'T PANIC!
- Discuss the first 3 novels of The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.
This is definitely not a favorite among the members. Only about 3 of us enjoy it. We have come to the conclusion (for most members) it is definitely something that should be read very young to be a book that is enjoyed as an adult.
