So I was 13 that fateful summer Saturday when I waltz down to my local library because they were having a used book sale. There were no prices and all they were asking for were donations to the library. All I had was a quarter. Turns out that quarter changed my life.

There, in the back of a box under the main table was a small paperback boook titled 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'. I donated my precious quarter and took the book home. I read the whole thing that night.

The next 10 years of my life were spent collecting the works of Douglas Noel Adams. I would list my collection but I'm too tired so I snapped a couple pictures for you all. Hope you enjoy. :thumbsup:

(Sorry for the bad picture quality but I really wanted to show you guys and this was how they came out.)

I've never collected anything in my life except Douglas Adams' books. They all laughed at me. I thought I was the froodiest guy on the block.

I don't usually like fiction but THGTTG is a great book. It's unscientifically funny. And it makes fun of humans. I actually heard it first on a "book on tape" but I later bought a hardcover with the first 5 books. I didn't read it in 1 night (I still read fiction slowly) but I did finish it. It's probably the only fiction I've read without having a teacher assigning it to me.

P.S. Notice my towel in my sig for towel day is today.
