Book Reviews - June 2008

I have finally gotten around to reading two classic books this month, The
Da Vinci Code and the the first few books of The Hitchhikers Guide to the
Galaxy. The Da Vinci Code, I'm sorry to say, was a sad disappointment. It
certainly did not make for a clever mystery and the characters were
relatively boring with one exception who ends up..well I'll stop here so
as not to spoil it for those who have not read it yet. Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy, now there's a great book. Hilarious, ridiculous, and
pure genius. So the moral of the story is that if you ever have to choose
between reading the Da Vinci Code and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
choose the latter and if you need to burn a book for firewood then choose
the former. I'll end with my favorite part of Hitchhiker's Guide to the
Galaxy.

"Now," said Benjy mouse, "to business."
Ford and Zaphod clinked their glasses together.
"To business!" they said.
"I beg your pardon?" said Benjy.
Ford looked round.
"Sorry, I thought you were proposing a toast," he said.
