Updated books read list
Currently I am making my way through "The Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy", which includes "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe", "Life, the Universe and Everything", "So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish", "Young Zaphod Plays it Safe", and "Mostly Harmless". I started reading this in December but have just finished "So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish" and "Young Zaphod Plays it Safe" this weekend. I have yet to start on "Mostly Harmless" but will update when I finish it.
I've been wanting to read these books for a while now. This was mostly because the people around me are always making jokes that involve inside knowledge of the book series. For example, the number 42. Because of this I had stated to my wife that I was interested in reading the series and she bought me the entire leather bound set with a nice bookmark tassel thing.
The first two books were great. I guess I knew most of the story or the first book so it wasn't as illuminating as I though it would be, but I knew absolutely nothing about TRATEOTU. It was simply hilarious. My favorite part is when they are ordering dinner and the cow comes around to ask them what cut of beef they want. The next book was a bit slow, although it had it's moments. SLATFTF was weird and I'm not sure what to make of it. It seemed really quick and didn't really explain much about what had happened, but maybe that will get clarified in the last book. YZPIS was a short story that was mildly entertaining.
I guess you really just need to read the first two and decide for yourself if you are interested enough to read the rest of them. So far they are the best anyways.
