Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

For very early internet adopters like me, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is legend. But I have to confess, up to 2007 (lightyears in internet timecounting) I never attempted to read this book. After it was highly recommended to me again by some people, I finally dug into it.
Even though some very few lines are funny I just can't get the hang of Adams' writing style. Too disintegrated, too nebulous, no story line visible. Actually this is one of the few books I put away again unfinished after having slaved through the first 50 to 100 pages.
