We’re hurling toward death. Tension is high. Eddie remains calm, cool and collected. He’s comfortable with potential disaster, and he offers some of that calm to his fellow travelers. “Call me Eddie, if it will help you relax.” Absurdity and dry humor is alive and well in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
I’ve been looking for some funny books of late–the kind that make you laugh out loud. They’re hard to come by. It takes more time to set-up the joke in literature than it does with quick visuals or physical humor seen in film and television. Douglas Adam’s Hitchhiker’s Guide had a few good laughs–mostly because of his dry wit and absurdity. You can learn more about Adams and his writing in GoodReads. And if you know of any books that made you laugh out loud, let me know!
I share great quotes from books I’m reading and some I writing. Subscribe below to follow along on the ride!
