The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy
(Douglas Adams)
Poor Arthur! Poor Earth! Poor Babel Fish! Poor what? You heard me, the Babel Fish. This delightfully zany novel revolves around the adventures of Earthman Arthur Dent after he is saved from the destruction of Earth by his good friend Ford Prefect who, it turns out is from a small planet orbiting Betelgeuse.No one, except Arthur and another earthling named Trillian seem very upset by the destruction Earth (which is done by the Vogons a hysterical spin off on government bureaucrats by the way) except the mice. You see the mice were using the Earth as a giant computer to answer the really vexing issue of what question goes with the answer forty-two.They?d waited several million years for the answer and just a few minutes before the output *Poof* off goes the Earth.They think it?s possible to get the answer they need if only they could get a pound or two of brain from an earthling that had been there right before the big firework. Only problem: Arthur?s got the only sample around and he doesn?t feel like giving it up. Sigh. Earthlings are so fussy.Most importantly, The Guide, as it is called teaches you how to see the Galaxy on less than thirty-Altarian dollar a day. How cool is that? Very, very cool!Perhaps a bit dated at this point, Hitchhiker?s none the less provides a riotously funny mix of exploding whales, peril sensitive sun glasses and Ravenous Bug Blatter Beasts to keep nerds, dorks and hoopy froods the world over howling with laughter. The writing is wry and very British.By the way: If you stick a Babel Fish in your Ear you can understand any language instantly. Cool for you but really, what self respecting fish wants to live in someone?s ear. Yech!
