Lose Yourself in the World of Books
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy #1 Good old Hitchhiker's... this is a book that has been recommended to me by just about everyone I know. It definitely takes some getting used to if you are not used to humorous sci-fi, but it is definitely a favorite! Synopsis Seconds before the Earth is demolished to make way… Continue reading The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
