My First Blog

So this is obviously the first blog I've ever done. Ever. What I'll mainly be talking about is books, because that's the assignment, but there also might be some pop-culture stuff. So, yeah, stay tuned for that stuff. Anyway, one of my favourite books/series ever, and the inspiration for this blogs incredibly humble name is the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, written by Douglas Adams, and the 6th book is written by Eion Colfier. These are probably my favourite books in the world (closely followed by George R.R Martins epic series A Song of Ice and Fire). This is probably because of the insane nature of all the books. They follow the misadventures of unfortunate Englishman Arthur Dent, one of the last two human beings left in the universe. When Earth is destroyed to make way for a Hyper Space bypass, Arthur is saved by his best friend/alien, Ford Prefect, who is from a small planet in the vicinity of Betelgeuse 6. This is the start of a huge misadventure across space and time, leading from the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, to a planet called Krickit. Along the way, Arthur will encounter the incredibly dull Vogons (do NOT let them read you poetry), hyper intelligent shades of blue, and a creature which he's killed many, many times before. And there is that small matter of him, albeit reluctantly, saving the entire universe. He'll also stumble across the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, which isn't nearly as important as the question.
