Over the weekend, I rebought all five books in the Hitchhiker's Guide trilogy. I don't know what happened to my old copies. I am already halfway through the first book, and I plan to have them all finished in the next two weeks.

Then I am going to reread the Dirk Gently books.

I'm considering rereading a lot of books I read in high school just to see what I think of them now.
Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.

I'm reading the Dirk books now.

I reread the Dirk books recently.  I thought they were better than the first time I read them, most likely because I didn't read them immediately after the hitchhiker books.

I've never read any of them.

I prefer pictures and shiny things.

Beefy, here's an excerpt from the beginning of the first book in the series.

I love them.

I actually went to buy a copy of THGTTG not too long ago, but they charge way too much cash for such a slim book.  I should go see if my library has it, now that I have a library card.

I don't think I've read any Dirk Gently books.

The opening to The Hitchhiker's Guide is my favorite opening of any book, ever.  I was hooked from the start on that one.
we should have kept the quote pyramid up to rape Jessie in the face.

I've gone back to read Zelazny's "Amber" series.
Too cool. I wanna walk the shadows...
I was just wondering...
