So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, by Douglas Adams is a book from the much beloved Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. Well worth a read.

If you like sci-fi and Adventure Time's humor, I would definitely start with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, one of the greatest and most hilarious books ever written. Get the actual book and completely ignore the movie of the same name.

1. I went on a road trip across the country for 6 months! It was a wonderful experience. Traveling is really my thing these days! Picture!
   
   
2. My favorite book is The Perks of Being a Wallflower because it is a wonderful story to get lost in.
   
   
3. I would love to read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy because I haven't read it yet and apparently it's amazing!! :)

I'd say get in at least a few young adult fiction, as they're full of saccharine and angst ridden metaphor:

• The Perks Of Being A Wallflower

• Looking For Alaska

A few historical fictions:

• Wolf Hall

• Memoirs Of A Geisha

Comedy:

• The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

• Good Omens

Stephen king (just because he's a favorite)

• 11/22/63

• IT

And finally, some objectively "bad" books, to learn what not to do.

• Wild Animus: A Novel

• The Da Vinci Code

• Moon People


All of these books are personal favorites for one reason or another, and some may fit into multiple categories (see: looking for Alaska under YA fiction and "bad,").

That said, this should at least keep you busy for a bit.

Happy reading, and good luck on your novel!

This isn't a series, and isn't so much pew-pew as BOOOM and "oh god, the several centuries of ramifications of that boom" but A Canticle for Leibowitz is my absolute favorite book. Sadly there's no Kindle version, but if your library has it, check it out.

For books that have a Kindle version, have you ever read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Absolutely hilarious.

As for fantasy, one book I've read recently that I thoroughly enjoyed was The Corpse-Rat King. Bonuses for being a cheap Kindle book and for being an indie author! It reminded me of my favorite D&D campaigns in all the right ways.

Happy Friday. Apparently I really need to read this book

does this count?

thanks for the contest! aliens have always been interesting we actually almost went to the area 51 exhibit thing while i was over in vegas pretty big stuff :)

It's from Douglas Adams' Hitchiker's guide to the galaxy.

Douglas Adams has that dry, sarcastic, self-deprecating British humor down. He basically wrote a fun book, or perhaps even a series, around the idea that "What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything" is a malformed question.
