The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, A Trilogy In Five Parts (The omnibus).
- Douglas Adams

Presently half way through Life, The Universe, And Everything. Of course, I've read it hundreds of times before, but it's one of those collections you have to read at least once a year.

The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy is a Classic , has in itself never read it.

And i will probably never read such a thick book , but the book's title , i have probably seen 1000 times through the years.

Btw, congratulations to the profit of $ 0.25 in GlixGrid !! ... Peerless !!

You do not want to reveal the secret of how to win in GlixGrid !!??

Assuming that you have programmed a software , that can calculate the probability of the box you must click on.

Or have you copied Marcel666 tricks and close your eyes when you click the ClixGrid , if it work ... :roll:

What I do, is wait until something is on telly, then click during the adverts. That way, you win no matter what. Either you win a cash prize for clicking the Clixgrid, or you win the smug satisfaction of knowing the very annoying television adverts that pay for the program you're viewing were not viewed at all.

On topic, Hitchhiker's isn't DNAs best work, it just happened to be the one I'm reading. Both Dirk Gently books are better, imo, but the real highlight is the non-fiction Last Chance To See.

The History of [local town]. I read a lot of history from our area of the country plus history of different counties. I also read "Hell to Pay" a history of HR Clinton by Barbara Olson.

Solar,A Danish science fiction adventure in 6 parts by Brian Roland Larsen which were only 17 when he wrote the first book.

The year is 3617, the combined human race, called SOL, has conquered countless systems, without finding traces of intelligent life. A mighty fleet is built as a defense against any hostile powers, But gradually with the perception that we are alone. Unfortunately, the perception is wrong ... The huge research station CLRF are being attacked by an far superior unknown foreign power, and with one fell swoop changing the lifes of everyone. (Sorry about the google translation) :mrgreen:

Reason why i like this adventure,Is that there's no heroes and no superpowered nations to save humankind,No countries or nations exists anymore,And more important NO WARS.

We're really getting our arse kicked in these books :lol: :lol: And of course it all comes down to our last spot of defence EARTH!!!

Normally i'm not a giant science fiction fan,But they're so well written and extremely good at building up tension until only Earth remains :thumbup:

Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell ... Dilcey, Ellen and Melanie are my favorites in the book. Movie was OK but, the book was way better. I like to listen to audio books while I earn. Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson was most recent one.

Short overview about this book :
The classic supernatural thriller by an author who helped define the genre.. :clap: :thumbup:

First published in 1959, Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House has been hailed as a perfect work of unnerving terror. It is the story of four seekers who arrive at a notoriously unfriendly pile called Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar looking for solid evidence of a "haunting"; Theodora, his lighthearted assistant; Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman well acquainted with poltergeists; and Luke, the future heir of Hill House. At first, their stay seems destined to be merely a spooky encounter with inexplicable phenomena. But Hill House is gathering its powers—and soon it will choose one of them to make its own..

I recommend you to read this book, because this book is one of best seller books in the world.
Many of people very interesting to read this book.
So, your life will be regret if you never read this book on your life... :)

Man's search for Meaning.
- Viktor Frankl

Tough but hopeful story, though I found the writing to be a little bit dull and disappointing.

Also, some Edgar Allan Poe's poems and tales' passages which I like to reread once in a while.

Next one on my bedside table will most probably be Mrs Dalloway (Virginia Woolf), in the original English.
