Game of Thrones and Hitchhiker's
I would like to thank Mrs. Healey for that one time she scheduled a reading day on a day different from A day. Because she did so, i forgot my book, "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe" (the reason it's taking me so long to read is because i really want to take in all the information, ya know?), and had to pick one off of one of the shelves. This is when i stumbled across Game of Thrones, which is a book i've heard marvelous things about. I remember hearing my friends talk about the t.v. show, and wishing i could understand what they were discussing. I decided this was my chance to become invested in the universe created by G.R.R.M and opened to the first page. The bell rang by the time i had read the prologue, but i was immediately invested. Two weeks later, i had watched both seasons of the show, and was hotly anticipating the third (March 31st, mark your calendars). I was able to return to the book every A day and read one to two chapters before the bell rudely interrupted me. But now ive decided to hold off on reading the series until it is finished being written. Then i will go to the nearest library (if those still exist), and burn through the series faster than i did Harry Potter. For now, my conquest on the Hitchhiker's series will continue, and if you are wondering how that's going (and i know you are), yeah, its pretty good. I am getting to the point in Restaurant where all of the confusing little bits are about to be neatly wrapped up into one big joke, and i am looking forward to it. I admire how little Zaphod cares about his part in the larger scope of things, and i admire even more how Douglass Adams turns that apathy into his key role in the universe. Maybe i'll finish the book tonight, but probably not, because i have one more blog post to type and im about four days late.

people are taking bets that he will not ever finish the books, so you may not want to deprive yourself waiting for the end of the series. Just trying to help out.
