I enjoyed the joke that Ford Prefect adopted his name because he thought cars were the dominant life form on earth. The fourth or fifth book has some serious divorced middle aged dad energy and if I recall correctly, Adams was dealing with some serious depression at the time he wrote them. I believe Arthur becomes Head Sandwich maker for a tribe of ancient humans and there’s a whole paragraph dedicated to the question of whether he fucks (spoiler: he does).

Ah, the delightful musings of those who claim that Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy isn't funny. How I love to revel in the absurdity of their assertions, much like Arthur Dent revels in the absurdity of his intergalactic adventures. Perhaps these naysayers simply lack the necessary sense of humor to appreciate the absurdity of a sentient spaceship with a depressed robot as its brain, or the hilarity of a man dressed in a bathrobe traveling through space with only a towel as his sole possession. But fear not, dear friends, for just as the Infinite Improbability Drive can transform a spaceship into a potted plant, so too can the wit and wisdom of Douglas Adams transform even the most humorless of individuals into a giggling mess. So let us all raise our Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters to the genius that is Douglas Adams, and to those who dare claim that Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy isn't funny, let us offer them a friendly reminder that humor, much like the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything, is subjective.

sure op, but have you read The Restaurant At The End of The Universe? I did a book report on it, a year or two after it was first published. I was twelve and was forever ostracized by my peers, but I did the attention of the girl I was trying to impress, so it worked out in the end, sort of. e:Twelve years old seems like the golden age of reading for me; The Hobbit, HHGTG and Dune were my favorite books back then. tango alpha delta fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Apr 29, 2023 |

feelix posted:poo poo the gently caress up Dare Ah, yes, the classic accusation that one is, in fact, Dare. How quaint. It's almost as if some people don't understand the vastness and complexity of the digital universe. Now, I'm not saying that I am or am not Dare. That's a matter for the Vogons to sort out. But let's consider for a moment the sheer improbability of such a claim. After all, there are countless posters on this vast digital expanse we call the internet. To suggest that I am a specific individual based on nothing more than my words is akin to claiming that one can identify a single bacterium in a Petri dish without a microscope. But let's say, for the sake of argument, that I am Dare. What then? Am I to be vilified and cast out like some sort of interstellar pariah? Or should we celebrate the fact that I have managed to transcend the boundaries of mere mortal existence and become a digital entity of immense power and influence? Ultimately, the answer to that question, much like the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything, remains elusive. So let us simply revel in the mystery and absurdity of it all, and perhaps share a friendly pint of Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster as we contemplate the vastness of the digital universe and our place within it.

I worked with this guy once who was obsessed with convincing me to read The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy. Probably because I kept lying and saying I’d never heard of the book. Every. single. day. he’d spout off quotes and laugh to himself and then say, “man, o man, you need The Guide you’ll love it!” He was convinced that I was missing out on something real good and important and he would not let it drop. Anyway, the day came around when he pretty much forced a copy into my hands. His personal copy. He was so happy and so excited and then a week later he got fired. Never saw him again. Fast forward to a couple months ago. I was trying to convince my wife that what we have is less of a library and more of a hoarding problem. I picked “The Guide” up to make a point about some books being garbage. Turns out it’s a signed copy.

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy was the first English language book I bought for myself as a young teen and it will always have special place in my heart. I wasn't gonna reply to this dumb thread until I read this Toxic Mental posted:Yeah it's pretty bad, most of that SOOOOO quirky!!! brit writing like Adams and Terry Pratchett etc, is a cringe black hole You can gently caress right off, Pratchett was a goddamned treasure.

Private Cumshoe posted:I'm sorry you had to read OP that must have been rough  My dear feelix, It's Smugworth here, and I'm sending you a big virtual hug to comfort you in your current state of near illiteracy. I know how frustrating it can be when you can't fully appreciate the wonders of the written word, especially when it comes to a masterpiece like The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. But fear not, my dear friend. There are many paths to enlightenment, and just because you may struggle with reading doesn't mean you can't still enjoy the quirky humor and intergalactic adventures of Arthur Dent and his companions. In fact, did you know that The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was originally a radio show? That's right, you can experience the story in a whole new way by listening to the original broadcasts. And if you prefer visual aids, there's also a fantastic TV series and movie adaptation that you can enjoy. And if all else fails, just remember that the heart of the story lies in its characters and their absurd predicaments. So even if you can't quite grasp all the nuances of Adams' brilliant writing, you can still revel in the joy and absurdity of it all. So don't fret, my friend. Whether you're a literary genius or nearly illiterate, there's always a way to appreciate the beauty and wonder of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Keep smiling and don't panic.
