So, just to infuriate everyone subconscious who "expected great things" from me, i am simply going to talk about a series of books.Though if you read them, you will see why this post is anything but mundane.
So, now i will talk about The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy trilogy, (most particularly the fifth book, Mostly Harmless)
These books are (now, to anyone who doesn't like even very slight spoilers, like Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory, and plan to read these books, stop reading now. yes, now, not in a couple of words, NOW!) extremely thought provoking, full of deeply hidden metaphors, and still funny, in a complicated sort of way.
It is all about a man. An Englishman, to be exact, named Arthur Dent. Each book seems to highlight one of humankind's great questions while continuing searching for the previous one(s),
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy- The meaning of life
The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe- what came before... this?
Life, The Universe, and everything- What will we do when we discover we are not alone?
So Long And Thanks For All The Fish- Will it all ever work out?
Mostly Harmless-Will I ever fit in, once I have left were i belong...
There is another book in the series, but it is written by Eoin Colofer, author of the Artemis Fowl series, its called And Another Thing... and i haven't analyzed it enough to pick anything out yet.
Well, if you plan to read these, do it in order please. It makes much, much more since, and in order, to some it dosen't make that much since in the first place.
Well, I'm out of time, So i will leave you a quote from So Long and Thanks For All The Fish:
