My New Journey

"Extremely Funny . . .Inspired Lunacy . . . [and] over much soon." -The Washington Post Book World"[A] Whimsical Odyssey . . . Characters frolic through the galaxy with infectious joy." -Publishers Weekly.

For my independent reading I chose to read Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy because it has inspired a major motion picture which is extremely prestigious. I have also read several reviews and found that readers are filled with laughter. I expect this book to be hilarious and a good topic for discussion. I am enthusiastic about reading it because it might be the first book I have read since nearly a year! The author Douglas Adams English was an author, comic radio dramatist, and musician. He died in 2001 of a heart attack. Known as a fan of technology, he was the second person to buy a Mac in the UK. This book will most likely take me two weeks to read if I follow my 100 pages a week plan.
