Progress Report
Tomorrow will be a week since I started reading “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” and I am not done with the first book yet (very close though). Let’s see how I fare reading over 600 pages in a night. So far I am enjoying it very much, but I confess, I’ve been distracted by other things. I am a busy person!! Read more…
I wonder
I wonder if all Americans get the very subtle jokes sprinkled all throughout the first chapters of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Like the joke about Arsenal, or the references to the pubs. Mr. Adams’s humor is very subtle in some parts and blatantly obvious in others. I have to admit that I get distracted by the made up names, so much as to find them a little annoying. Maybe I don’t have such a huge imagination, but I far prefer it when he gets to telling the story and stops making up silly names with obscure references. I enjoy the subtle references much better than the almost slapstick, sardonic humor that carries most of the story so far. Read more…

Welcome Aboard!
Welcome Aboard!
I admit it, I am one of those people that buy books reads one or two chapters and then gets distracted by life or another book and very seldom finishes them. I have many hobbies, photography, drawing, painting, singing, writing, but my first love has always been and will always be reading. I read Moby Dick when I was a little girl (the abridged version) and my love for the written words stems from then. I often dreamed of being on the bow of a whaling boat throwing my sharp harpoon to a mighty cachalot amidst roaring seas. I read the full version as a young adult, and it even influenced which branch of the service I joined (the mighty US Navy). My obsession with the sea, boats, sailors and solitude is all thanks to Mr. Melville and his riveting whaling saga. Read more…
