The Hitchhikers books are a unique read. They remind me a bit of Monty Python, sort of high brow slap stick. It can be hard to follow at times as Douglass Adams always seems to take the most indirect path to make a point and that path is loaded with other references to sometimes seemingly unrelated things. It takes place in outer space so there are countless references to planets and alien races that seem to follow the same naming conventions used by Dr. Suess.
The books are rather funny though. I read them years ago and have been enjoying rereading them. But be prepared for that "what the hell did I just read" feeling.

I'm an engineering student, I am
very
familiar with that feeling. ÂÂÂ
I'll check them out over christmas break, thanks for the info.  I did see the movie, but I have been told that the movie is nothing like the book.

ever seen the crappy movie version?
There was a movie...? How could Huxley allow that? I mean, he was probably long gone when it was released, but you'd think he would have given the publisher instructions to not let that kind of thing happen...
Oh yeah, and I'm reading the new Nintendo Power. Is it just me, or is the girl that's at the beginning of the Animal Crossing DS article really really hot? Talk about random... Not that I'm complaining (far from it), but still.

I still haven't seen the movie. I have seen and own the old BBC series on DVD and Laserdisc.

The movie was actually quite good, in my opinion. It's worth taking a look at it.

I recently finished reading Star Trek Movie Memories by William Shatner. I'm about to start the novelization of Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

Macbeth for school
and
Fall of Reach
the first book in the halo trilogy. Its pretty good so far. I am only into the first chapter.
I don't like the descriptor they used for Grunts though.
The compared some of them to dogs and said some ran on all fours. Which doesn't happen.

The Once and Future King - T.H. White
Medievil fantasy always seems to do it for me, and this is apparently the definitive novel of that area of literature, so I'm giving it a whirl. I'll admit that a lot of the dialogue is confusing at first, but I'm picking up on it. Not bad so far.

Red Acropolis, Black Terror.
It's a history of the Greek Civil War and the origins of Soviet-American Rivalry. Some pretty crazy stuff happened after WWII
Say iz, how many times you going to read Macbeth? I couldn't get through it once.

Just finished reading the cliff notes on the book "The Color of Water"
Hopefully thats enough of it.
God was that book dry reading. It trully sucked.
Going to read The Fall of Reach now.
Hopefully i don't intertwine the Halo 2 universe with the racist 1960s tomorrow on my english midterm...

The Colour of Magic, on the other hand, is awesome. And so is the Colour out of Space by Lovecraft.
