He was alone with his thoughts. They were extremely unpleasant thoughts and he would rather have had a chaperon.

“Everybody does that. Every moment of every day. Every single decision we make, every breath we draw, opens some doors and closes many others. Most of them we don’t notice. Some we do. Sounds like you noticed one.”

Everything you see or hear or experience in any way at all is specific to you. You create a universe by perceiving it, so everything in the universe you perceive is specific to you.

In the book, A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the Vogon guard shouts "resistance is useless" as he's escorting Ford and Arthur to the air lock to be thrown into space. Much later, the writers of TNG have the Borg infamously say, "Resistance is futile" as the attempt to assimilate the Federation. Just a coincidence I'm sure.

The twist is not in the fact that we know the ultimate answer (42), it’s that we don’t know the ultimate question (unless we let the mice complete the simulation on the earth computer and destroy us all ofc)

Arthur squatted and felt the Informational Illusion of the soil and the grass. He ran it through his fingers. The soil seemed heavy and rich, the grass strong. It was hard to avoid the impression that this was a thoroughly delightful place in all respects.

Isn’t it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?

52/120 (Back on track finally)

3/5

This book is a classic and that is the reason I stuck through 815 pages of this book. I wanted to be able to add it to the classic shelf and move on. Well, this won’t be staying I’m unhauling it.

This book was well written, I can say yes it’s witty and can say that people find it funny. Not me, this humour is very much Monty Python type humour- and I just can’t stand it, I find it stupid and just not funny. So suffice to say that this just wasn’t for me.

I did enjoy the plot and some of the things going on, but I found a bunch of it to just be idiotic and simple. And even the science that I should have enjoyed was just nonsense and gibberish braided together to have a mock up pseudo-science.

I never saw the movie this book inspired either, and after reading this I’m not going to. So it’s a three because it’s not for me, and I can say that yes the craft was good, and it was well written and I can see why it’s popular. I am saddened by the fact that going into this book I was optimistic and wanted to enjoy it, and ended up not liking it much.

Mr. Gaiman,

I recently read The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams and saw you had written the foreword. I would like to read one of your books and wondered if you had a recommendation for which one to start with.

If you like Hitchhikers, then either Good Omens or Neverwhere are good places to start.
