Come to the Dark Side: We Have Cookies.

I guess what makes (or will make) my blog posts interesting is the fact that readers will be able to learn about new musicians on YouTube and interact with various genres/styles. Inevitably, this blog would be more appealing to those who love and aspire music, yet I'll do my best to drag even those who are indifferent of music to the fabulous world consisting of notes and lyrics. lahhhh!

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"

In this brief blog post, I'll be talking about my independent reading book for this quarter: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy written by Douglas Adams.


For my previous independent reading books, I had always chose similar books of the same genre: the works of Nick Hornby and The Adrian Mole Diaries. I chose them because I was looking for enjoyable, light books that I could actually sit back and enjoy, rather than books like War and Peace that I have to flip through my dictionary for every 2 pages. Yet I was starting to get bored of reading books of similar topics, and wanted to try reading something new. Then a friend of mine suggested me the book The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and I soon became intrigued by it after reading only the first chapter.


The author of the book Douglas Adams (1952~2001) is a British writer and dramatist best known for his Hitchhiker series, a 'trilogy' of 5 books, which also became created as a television series, stage plays, comics, computer games, and films due to its popularity.


As I just said, I have already read the first chapter of the book, so I sort of got the hang of what the book might be like. I hope that it will be truly entertaining and enjoyable, just like my previous independent reading books. I'm not that used to reading Sci-Fi fiction, so I hope this becomes a great experience.
