A re-read (I have a small Nostalgia Project going). Just as funny and goofy as ever. And since it was Towel Day, it was a perfect day to start a re-read.
And narrated by Stephen Fry in my head because he was straight up perfect in the movie. So my brain borrowed him.

So much fun. And read by Stephen Fry, which was interesting because even the parts of the Guide he narrated for the movie he read differently here.
This book is so fun! The characters get in to outlandish and silly situations as the entire book starts with Earth being destroyed to make room for an intergalactic highway. This on top of the fact that Earth was 5 minutes away from something the mice had been waiting for for 10 million years. Besides it's fun and funny parts, it actually does slightly breach the big questions of life and why we're here.

Terrific to re-read. And I like the cover design of this printing so much more than I like every other cover for this series ever made. The dumb green thing with arms? Worst.
