So anyway, I've been looking for a funny book for a while. I just wanted a funny, easy to read, story for when I'm bored. And that took quite a while to find. But luckily, I stumbled upon a fantastic bargain at Borders.
That's right, I found a book. In fact, I found 5 books. It's a boxset, with an RRP of £34.95. But guess how much I got it for. Go on, have a guess. I had it for £6.00. Cool eh?
Ooh, and I suppose I should tell you what it is. It's 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' box set, by Dougals Adams. The books are, in order:
- The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy
- The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe
- Life, The Universe And Everything
- So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish
- Mostly Harmless
I'm only on the first one, but I've laughed so many times, it's unbelieveable. For example, look at what it says about Bypasses:
"Bypasses are devices which allow some people to dash from point A to point B very fast whilst other people dash from point B to point A very fast. People living at point C, being a point directly in between, are often given to wonder what's so great about point A that so many people from point B are so keen to get there, and what's so great about point B that so many people from point A are so keen to ge there. They often wish that people would just once and for all work out where the hell they wanted to be."
The book just goes off on loads of funny little rants like that one. The excerpts from the Guide itself (Which has the words "DON'T PANIC" written across the cover) are the best. I can't be bothered to find one at the moment, though. I'll see if I can find a particualrly good one and I'll stick it up on here some time soon.
Also, I would like to apologize to Jordan, who we inadvertently abandoned today, in Cardiff. Sorry Jordan. I'll be sure to wait for you next time.
Anyway, it's time for me to go on MSN, and waste my time in a non-constructive manner, once again. I'll be back soon!
