Book Review

Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 5-book Trilogy
That's not a typo, there's five books. That's the kind of humour you can expect. Thoroughly entertaining and easy reading. This'll probably never be on any reading lists of literature classes, but you should read it. Very, very funny.

Margaret Atwood's Oryx & Crake
Have you ever read The Handmaid's Tale? I liked this better. I'm gonna read more Atwood.


J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion
If you liked Lord of the Rings so much you re-read The Hobbit, then you have to read this. All those references to characters and stories from the ancient days? They're all in this book. Required reading for all Tolkien fans. It explains why the elves had 3 rings of power and why the dwarves had 7, where the light in Frodo's vial came from, and the significance of the Arwen/Aragorn relationship.
