Description: "Join Douglas Adams's hapless hero Arthur Dent as he travels the galaxy with his intrepid"Join Douglas Adams's hapless hero Arthur Dent as he travels the galaxy with his intrepid pal Ford Prefect, getting into horrible messes and generally wreaking hilarious havoc. Dent is grabbed from Earth moments before a cosmic construction team obliterates the planet to build a freeway. You'll never read funnier science fiction; Adams is a master of intelligent satire, barbed wit, and comedic dialogue. The Hitchhiker's Guide is rich in comedic detail and thought-provoking situations and stands up to multiple reads. Required reading for science fiction fans, this book (and its follow-ups) is also sure to please fans of Monty Python, Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, and British sitcoms."...

Description: "So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish, the fourth book in the Hitchhiker's "trilogy,""So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish, the fourth book in the Hitchhiker's "trilogy," is a much different read than the books preceding it. Gone are the skips and jumps from one galaxy and time to another, the almost constant evasions of certain death, the madcap hilarity that ensued whenever Zaphod, Ford, Trillian, Arthur, and Marvin got together (or split up), and the maddening pace of a well-told tale going happily along with little care whether or not the story ever approached an appropriately witty conclusion. This is basically the story of the young lady who figured out the secret of happiness just seconds before Earth was destroyed by a Vogon fleet preparing the way for a hyperspace bypass. It is also Arthur Dent's story. Sure, we got to now Arthur fairly well in the first three books, but he does spend an inordinate amount of time saying things like: What?, I don't understand, Is it possible to get a cup of tea? and That's it then, we're all going to die. Once you get him out of that well-traveled bathrobe, Arthur Dent turns out to be a real person-a little weird, of course, but real, rather complex, and surprisingly interesting nonetheless."...

Description: "Ford Prefect, Arthur Dent, and the usual cast of characters are back in the late Douglas"Ford Prefect, Arthur Dent, and the usual cast of characters are back in the late Douglas Adams's MOSTLY HARMLESS, an installment of the HITCHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY. Adams does a stellar job reading his own words as he captures his own dry wit, wry sense of humor, and gift for overstating the obvious. As each scene unfolds and each character appears, Adams takes great delight in the absurdity of the universe he has created, and his own entertainment comes across brilliantly in the reading. Any fan of the Hitchhiker's Guide will enjoy this turn of events as much as the author's interpretation of his work in this thoroughly enjoyable nugget of mind candy."...

Description: From Amazon:
"The four March girls - tomboyish Jo, beautiful Meg, fragile Beth, andFrom Amazon:
"The four March girls - tomboyish Jo, beautiful Meg, fragile Beth, and romantic Amy - live in genteel poverty with their mother Marmee; their father is away in the Civil War. Despite having little money, the girls keep their spirits up with writing, gardening, homemade plays, and the occasional romp with wealthier pals. Their pal, "poor little rich boy" Laurie, joins in and becomes their adoptive brother, as the girls deal with Meg's first romance, Beth's life-threatening illness, and fears for their father's safety."

This is my favourite book by far! It's a great children's book about family and life. The March family is picture perfect....
