#2 The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

Borrowed girlfriend-at-the-time's (and still good friend - Siri Rea) copy of this book.  I think it was just after high school.   Most books on this list are either very earnest or simple and whimsical.. an exciting adventure or a stern criticism.. a gritty surrealism or a pensive introspection.. this one is a comedy. I have many still left to read, but I doubt any will be called a comedy.
It was a lot of fun.  I took my time reading it - I wasn't as much of a reader at that point anyway - and I really enjoyed it.  I am glad to see that the next books in the series are NOT included in this list.  I tried to read The Restaurant at the end of the Galaxy, but I totally lost interest.
I believe in the book it listed a date for Earth's destruction ( can't remember what it was) but I am pretty sure Siri carried around a bath towel that day..
