Douglas Adams, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy,
From Vogons to a Depressed Robot: A Forgotten Treasure is Found
05/01/2010 08:16 PM Filed in:Life on the Outside
Before I leave on a trip, I like to stock-up on a few books to read during travel and down time. For this current vacation jaunt that I’m on, I hit the local Barnes & Noble scooping up a Miles Davis autobiography and the latest David Sedaris collection of prose. I wandered through Borders and cherry-picked a few magazines that Barnes doesn’t carry. But my best find was not found in either establishment, not at all. It was found in of all places, a salvage yard! Yes! The find? Douglas Adams masterpiece: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It was in yellowed, dog-eared, thirty-year-old vintage paperback splendor. The cost? Free! Since I was buying a collection of assorted knick-knacks, the manager threw it in for free. What a guy! If you have never read this wonderful book, do so at your earliest convenience. If you haven’t read it in some time, don’t you think its time you revisited an old friend? I do. Now if I could just score an old vinyl copy of Robin Williams “Reality: What a Concept” album. Time to initiate the Improbability Drive!
