30 day geek challenge – Day 4: Favorite Book or Book Series

Missed the list? I’m doing a 30 day geek challenge to counter all my anime nerd friends (I’m sorry, but I’m not calling you ‘Otaku’).

It’s hard to pick a favorite book or book series, having read so many, but in the end, I just had to go with British humor(humour?)

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams wins my Favorite Book *and* Favorite Book Series. It teaches you everything about Vogon Poetry, knowing where your Towel is and the significance of the number 42, how dolphins are a superior species (as well as mice), and that Earth is “Mostly Harmless”.

  1. Frankly, I would have chosen either Snowcrash or Neuromancer as the book, what the hell, de gustibus non disputandum est.

    Hitchhiker’s Guide, no doubt. After always only having 3 or fewer of the books after continual moves, I jumped on a leatherbound complete “trilogy” in the (ahem) literary classics shelf of a bookstore.
