The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
Your hosts revisit the classic A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, and discuss how surprising it can be rereading a book in a different stage of life. Apparently Arthur Dent is only 30? We don’t don’t actually bring that up in the episode but Lilly is pretty sure he was middle aged when she read it in high school. Sara also brings up an atrocious example of tags on AO3 in this week’s Pet Peeve Corner.
