How to read "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
It made me
Laugh!
 "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is one of the most amazing and hilarious stories I have ever read."
How I did it: I borrowed the book from my boyfriend, and once I began reading it I practically couldn't put it down. :] The Hitchhiker's Guide to the galaxy is an incredible book. I love reading, so it was easy for me to get right into it and finish it. I STRONGLY recommend reading this book for anyone; it's a classic! Lessons & tips: Try setting goals for yourself if you're having trouble motivating yourself to read (although with this book it shouldn't be a problem). For example, tell yourself you're going to read 50 pages a day. You'll be done in no time! Resources: None. :] |

How I did it: I found a huge hardback copy of the entire Hitchhiker series of books at Goodwill, so I had to get it, of course. It wasn't hard to read at all, but it was a bit daunting just because the book is so *huge.* We're required, at school, to pretty much constantly be reading a book, so once I finished the one I was working on, I started packing the Guide to school with me and reading during set-aside times we were given. It is a very engaging … Read how I did it…

How I did it: Read it in a couple days, not a hard read. It's very funny in places, and the book is so much better than the movie. The two main characters are very cool. Read how I did it…

How I did it: Read it a while back but I was looking for a recent edition of it when I was in ..... (insert book shop here) and read it in about a day - as I do with all good books, now looking forward to reading the whole 5. Read how I did it…

Laugh!
How I did it: Just borrow it from the Library or buy it and then read it! It's not a hard book, but if you have trouble reading my advice is to just set aside 30 minutes a day for reading until you finish it. Read how I did it…

I forgot to post when I finished the 4th book (HHGG4?), So Long and Thanks for All the Fish, but I finished it pretty recently. It was really disappointing, mostly because of itself. It started off with so much promise, then just . . . poof ran away. I’ve heard that his editor moved in to make sure that he finished the book on time. You can tell.
And just yesterday, I finished the 5th and final book, Mostly Harmless. It was much better than So Long, but I don’t know if it was really a series-ending book. Pretty interesting, though it had some disappointing aspects. I’d recommend the series to anybody interested in some good philosophy, but be prepared for the fourth book to disappoint.

It’s a pretty easy read, and once you’ve started you’ll probably get sucked in and just want to keep reading.
Good occasions to read are on the train/bus/subway, while waiting for something, on a lazy day, before going to sleep, amongst others..)
If you like it, I suggest you also read the rest of the ‘trilogy of five’, they are just as easy to read, and still keep you laughing. :)
Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_(book)#Sequels for the titles.
Finally made it to my bookshelf

I had been searching for an nice edition of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy for a long time, and last week my friend found me a decent English hardcover which I picked up (after months of browsing through Dutch editions and pockets with blotchy ink).
Next step: finding time to read it.

I read the series as a young, impressionable child… Completely impossible to take my Bible classes seriously afterwards. :D

3/5 done

A few weeks ago, I finished Life, the Universe, and Everything, the third book. The further I read in the series, the more I enjoy the absurdity of it all. I’ve never really thought of myself as a nihilist, but this series is making me think twice about that. Some people think the series got worse and worse after the first book. Maybe that’s true (I’m not sure), but I’m definitely going to keep reading it. His universe gets more and more absurd with each book.
