Let's Talk Love Stories! discussion

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.

I haven't reached 42! Don't break the suspense for me.

Oh and rats.."such subtlety." XD

Right! I didn't connect those two.

After seven and a half million years...42 XD

Yes, I'd already known about 42. A few of my friends have already read it.

I've got only 30 pages left.

Sooo I didn't like the mice part, they were sort of uncool. But the sentence.."It committed suicide." XD

And let's start the next book after Puja? Or right away?

Yes, after Puja. Just returned from an all night pandal hopping :P
