Summary on Goodreads of the first book: Seconds before the Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy who, for the last fifteen years, has been posing as an out-of-work actor.
Together this dynamic pair begin a journey through space aided by quotes from The Hitchhiker's Guide ("A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have") and a galaxy-full of fellow travelers: Zaphod Beeblebrox--the two-headed, three-armed ex-hippie and totally out-to-lunch president of the galaxy; Trillian, Zaphod's girlfriend (formally Tricia McMillan), whom Arthur tried to pick up at a cocktail party once upon a time zone; Marvin, a paranoid, brilliant, and chronically depressed robot; Veet Voojagig, a former graduate student who is obsessed with the disappearance of all the ballpoint pens he bought over the years.
Note: The author has two other series: Dirk Gently and the Meaning of Liff, which also fall under this genre.
About This Project:
This is less a blog and more of an organization tool. I will not be posting reviews of these books, I already have a book blog for that purpose.
This is just a way to get all those books that we know about/have heard about organized and done in a way that people can search. If nothing else, consider this the ultimate rec list. I will be putting all major books here. Popular books, bestsellers, award winners, books made into movies/tv shows, widely known books and those books that everyone recommends.
