I feel like I'm the only one in the world who didn't like the first Hitchhiker's book, and then of course did not go on to read the second. It was a little like when I forced myself to read "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac. Too high expectations from all the rave reviews?

I read Hitchhiker's many years ago, should I give it another try? Perhaps some life changing moment has occurred that would make me like it?

I'm serious, I feel like there's something wrong with me!

Brian, this is awesome; I love your writing style.

I looked the book up on Amazon and found "funny science fiction." Reading a little more, I suspect that this is one of those "Huh?" books for me; a little like watching Jerry Lewis with my husband and son as I sit and roll my eyes.

Still, I'm glad you love it; there's something for everyone, right?

That towel goes well with your Phillies shirt. You have a look going there. Never heard of, or don't remember if I did, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Or it's author. I think I'm missing something by not reading it.

Katie...yeah wrong "good intentions" are still wrong, no matter how well intended.

Wife...you know you love it.

Actually, I got the towel reference, but I didn't know about Towel Day (hangs head in shame). Too bad I'm already out and about.

Great blog! Now I have a place to refer people to when they ask me why you are walking around with a towel!

Hadn't heard of this, thanks for posting! Wonder if I can get away with bringing one to Dad's company picnic tomorrow...

Love the "concerned teachers" - in my first elementary school (of three), there was a heated debate as to whether they should ban Harry Potter books from the library. They are about witchcraft, after all.
