Ok, Ok, Ok! I finally finished Hitchhiker! About halfway through it I was derailed so I could read my bookclub book-and then I lost momentum and had a hard time getting back. But today I've been really sick and didn't feel like doing anything so I picked it up and finished it in between falling asleep for short naps. I wasn't falling asleep because I was bored (although I was), the naps just sort of snuck up and attacked me for short periods.

So I can now say with experience to back up my opinion that I really don't care for Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I'm still trying to figure out why. I was one of the first and most enduring fans of the Star Trek series' (all but Deep Space Nine-I had trouble with that one). I get a kick out of Dr Who. During all the Stargates I was either out of the country or raising kids so I'm just now watching that series-all out of order (drives my 17-year-old crazy-she wants to watch it in the order it was made. But if I wait to do that I'll be on Medicare). So it's not like I don't like cheesy, silly, sci-fi. But Hitchhiker just seemed to have no point and no likeable characters.
