“Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.” When Arthur Dent is visited by a friend of his named Ford, he is plucked off the planet seconds before the Earth is demolished in order to make way for a galactic freeway. It turns out that the friend he had thought was simply an out of work actor is actually a researcher for the revised edition of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Together, the pair embark on a remarkable journey across the universe, picking up and meeting many interesting characters along the way. If you enjoy British humor even a bit, then follow along on the journey and you might even learn the answer to the meaning of life!

This is a very comical, yet very deep thinking book. It contemplates many things such as where humans fit in with the universe, moving on from tragedy, and other deep themes
