Torrenting...or maybe not! Nothing you read I am responsible for!

I got my hands on my own personal copy of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy this morning, and watched it (the movie) for probably only the second time in my life. Oooh, Trish is -pretty-...reminds me of someone...

Then I decided, hell, why not...I might as well get the books too. So I did.

And I read as we speak. Up to Chapter 4 within minutes.

You know, it's kinda refreshing to read fiction...I haven't read fiction in years...it's like, for once I don't need to use my critical thinking, and I don't have to analyze it to bits. It's like...watching a movie, only better, more relaxing, and more engaging. Movies have their place of course...but I missed this.

It feels really good to sit down with a book. I think I'm going to try and read at least one book a week this year, at least until I'm back in College. Maybe more. I guess it depends on the book.

Hitchhikers Guide is definitely in my top 10 books. Such an entertaining read :)

I'm really enjoying his style. I regret seeing the movie first because the imagery from that is invading what I'm getting from reading...but I suppose I'm still getting basically what I would've gotten otherwise. I hope, anyway. Too bad I can't just take it as is, though.
