Sorry Sri, been busying myself the past few days, will read chapter 1 tonight, slow and steady win the race :P:P
Okay Fong.. I will be starting only from tomorrow as I still have to finish Assassin's Apprentice today and I am really tired to even think about reading right now :)@Ishi - looks like we are starting from today :)
@Sri: I'll probably start from tomorrow then :):)Thanks :)
I'm joining in. But i'll probably start from tomorrow too :)
Great Arshi :) the more the merrier as I always like to say :) :)
Just finished chapter 1. Will take it slow though.
On chapter 3, but that because I've read the first few chapters before
Am yet to start :( :( Of course I have also read the first few chapters before.. but don't know where I left it.. so I will have to search and see :P :P
At just 1st chapter :(:(Hoping to find some time for reading at night *sigh*
How many chapters are there? Maybe i'll do 1 to 2 chapters per day.
Arshi - Just 35 chapters :)And I never receive notifs for this thread :/
Me three :( :P :PAm yet to start this one again..Sheesh.. will definitely start tonight :)
Oh well, let's start with a quote. This is how I usually feel when I enter the chat thread:(view spoiler)

Hey that's great.. Am yet to start :P :P Hopefully today will see me read this.. and finish it :D :D
just on chp 9 and u have even finished .__.
Sri - Ya it should take you about 1 or 2 hours to read. The chapters are so short, totally different from DC :D
Ya I know the chapters are small and its an easy read.. its just that I am not getting into reading it.. Will finish over the weekend though.. I promise. Monday we can discuss :D :D
Maybe it is because I am not well or something I really don't know but am not enjoying this one.. Have stopped reading. Will read it after a few days. So Fong, what do we do? Go onto another book or are you willing to wait to discuss this one??
Sri - let's go with another one :)What do you say about the Shining?
Yeah sure Fong.. I have already read it, so will skim it till you finish so that we can discuss :)
Does that mean I am not allowed to spam here if I'm not reading ? :P
@Ishita - can anyone stop you from spamming?? :P :P Lolss go ahead :D :D But you might just get a few spoilers :P :P
Sri- lol, thanks :D and I don't think that'll be a problem. I don't plan on reading it :P not soon anyway :PHow was it for you guys ?
*feels glad that she wasn't the only one not being able to finish the book* XD
@Ishita - which book are you talking about? :)
Sri- whichever you guys are talking about :PHitchhiker I guess ? :P
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
