orangerfulI recently got one of the pages hooked on 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', my favorite book of all time. In fact, the book that got me reading non-movie books again. haha.
I remember it well - 8th grade, writing some paper for english and my mom cracks a joke about 42. And I stare at her blankly. She explains that it's from this book. Up until then, I had assumed the book was an astronomy guide. So, I decided to read it. And a love affair began!
And after years of being the book that I traveled with at all times and lent out to friends (to test their level of geekness), my first copy is a tad bit beat up. But I love it. I own a new copy in paperback and hardcover, plus I have a small collection of ones I snagged from the donations pile back in my paging days.
But I wanted to show you a picture of true love. THIS is what a good book looks like:
You can't really see it, but there's some scotched tape on the spine haha. Poor thing. It's my precious though. *pets*
