Booking Through Thursday (27 August)

Today's Booking Through Thursday is... "What’s the lightest, most “fluff” kind of book you’ve read recently?"

Hmm. I'm not sure just what qualifies as fluff. If it's "non-serious" reading, I think pretty much everything I read is fluff! For argument's sake, I'm going to define fluff (for today only!) as something short, fun, and non-brain-needing.

And so, I offer you The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams. It is weird, it is British, it has next to no plot, it takes a couple hours to read, and the only time you need your brain is to tell it not to worry about a hyperintelligent shade of the color blue. Because if you think too hard about that, your brain will explode.
