    There is a theory that if anyone ever discovered the true nature of how the universe works, it would disappear and be replaced with something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
    There is another theory that this has already happened.

        This is a quote from a book called The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

        Congratulations, you are one of today’s lucky ten thousand, and you are in for a treat! (If you like absurdist British humor

          Maybe, when I’m through the Disc World books.

            I’d definitely recommend it if you like Discworld. I personally feel like Hitchhikers Guide is to science fiction in many ways what Discworld is to fantasy.

            dalekcaan is 100% right. Sir Pterry’s early books are downright Adamsinian, and while his later books trade the silliness for sharp social commentary, the humor and wit never diminish.

            Where are you in your Discworld journey? Which is your favorite so far?

              I’m in Men at Arms, reading in release order. I have no favourite book (I rarely have favorites of any kind), I like most of them very much, though Pyramids, Faust Eric and Small Gods didn’t quite hit my taste. Also, Death is a hilariously relatable character.

      I had to look this up because I didn’t remember a Gormagander from Hitchhikers… that thing looks like like they Tuvix’d a blobfish and an uncircumsized penis.
