25.1 - Teri-K's Task: Don't Panic!

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy began in 1978 as a BBC radio comedy. The first book in what became the popular science fiction comedy series was published in 1979.

For this task you will read 2 books; you can use an option more than once.
Each book must be new-to-you.
The books must total more than 600 pages.
Required: State which option you are using for each book. State that the books are new-to-you.

Option 1. The Hitchhiker's series could be described as a wild trip into a "surreal, whimsical universe".
Read a book from this Trippy Books List
Book chosen must meet SRC requirements.
REQUIRED: State the page of the list your book is found on.

Option 2. Number 42 is central to the story, as it is discovered to be the answer to... everything!
Find your own answers to life's pressing questions by reading a NONFICTION book with at least one 4 and one 2 in the page number.

Option 3. Within the series, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a travel guide for those who want to see the universe "on less than 30 Altairian dollars a day". The cover is emblazoned with the words "Don't Panic".
Keep your cool and read a fiction or non-fiction book with MPG Travel.
Some ideas could be found here: goodreads genres travel.
This page and the lists it links to are for suggestions. You still need to be sure the book you read fits this task and general SRC rules.
