Default SPOILER-FREE! Book of the Month discussion


Welcome to our SPOILER-FREE Book of the Moment discussion thread!

This thread isn't for a specific Book of the Moment. It will be used for every BotM going forward and you can discuss your spoiler-free thoughts on previous BotMs, too. The idea is that there are two threads per Book of the Moment. This one, which is 100% spoiler-free, and an individual thread for each BotM that does include spoilers. Hopefully, this will allow us all to feel comfortable discussing books without fear of spoiling anything for anyone else.


The rules and guidelines...
  • All Book Club Rules and SnitchSeeker Board Rules apply in this thread.
  • NO SPOILERS are allowed in this thread. If you post a spoiler, a Book Club moderator will either edit or delete your post.
  • Spoilers can only be included in the corresponding Book of the Month discussions in this forum. An index of all the threads can be found here.
  • Please include the title of the book you're discussing in the title of each post, especially if you're discussing a previous BotM.
  • If you have any questions, contact natekka or Lissy Longbottom via PM.

THE CURRENT BOOK OF THE MOMENT IS...
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

If it's as funny as everyone says, I think I'm going to use it for the humour prompt in the reading challenge.

That's a great idea! Douglas Adams has the most perfect, dry sense of humor. This is one of my most quotable books ever read.

Ooh, I love a good dry sense of humour.

And yeah? You will have to share some of your favourite quotes when we discuss it next month.

curly haired prefect - "sometimes I get angry!" - 30/90 - *chicken emoji* - probably @ Disney - I speak dog

I'm about 50% done with the book and the humor reminds me SO much of Good Omens.

I don't know why but I'm really struggling with this book. It hasn't jumped up and grabbed my attention yet. I was so excited to read it and it has been on my list for years so my disappointment that it hasn't caught my attention is big. I'm going to keep pushing, but it does pick up, yes?

^I understand this and I think part of it is due to the culture differences - British humor is VERY different from American humor But I do feel it picks up after a bit! The fact that it is shorter makes it easier to push through to that part, I think. I'd say about halfway in!
