Is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Still Worth Reading?

[@musicroom7185]

Back in about 2007, I had a couple of middle school students bring me a dvd of the movie and insist that I watch it...I did...For me, I had this "what did I just watch??" feeling when I was done...not bad, but pretty bizarre. Were the books widely published/popular? The reason I ask is that I frequent used bookstores/thrift stores to get my books & I don't recall ever seeing any of these books...(actually I was only aware that there was one!). The way you describe them, I might be interested in giving them a try.

They’re definitely bizarre! Lots of absurdist humour, and many quotable moments, much like a Mel Brooks or Monty Python film. If you can check the book out via your library, I’d say give it a go! The first book is pretty short, and you’ll get a sense if you enjoy its sense of humour pretty fast!
