The book you guys are discussing about intrigues me.

Is it the Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe? I've seen it often, but never got round to reading it.

Me, thinks, I ignore that better than this thread. What do you guys say?

Is the books worth buying/reading/borrowing ?

Yes, HHGG (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) is the book we are referring to. It's an excellent read, and something that every person should read at least once. Probably the best version to get now is 'The Ultimate hitchhiker's Guide'.

Ok. Seriously now (while ignoring this thread), it is an awesome book and the Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide is the four books in a single volume.
 
I am only ignoring the thread.
I am having fun looking at al those people ignoring this thread:

Look, there is one more posting and looking somewhat guilty, because he is posting in the thread he is supposed to ignore ... 😛

I am going to ignore this thread. And maybe read and spend money. Anything but pay attention to this thread. Oh. And check the stats of the team. (I have contributed to F@H in 2 months now...)
 
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-
Only this, and nothing more."

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;- vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow- sorrow for the lost Lenore-
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore-
Nameless here for evermore.

And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me- filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,
"'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door-
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;-
This it is, and nothing more."

Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
"Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you"- here I opened wide the door;-
Darkness there, and nothing more.

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering,
fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore!"
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!"-
Merely this, and nothing more.

Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
"Surely," said I, "surely that is something at my window lattice:
Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore-
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;-
'Tis the wind and nothing more."

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and
flutter,
In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore;
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed
he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door-
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door-
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore.
"Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no
craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the Nightly shore-
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"
Quoth the Raven, "MustIgnore"

😀

6 books. Well, technically 5, (Hitchhiker's Guide; Restaurant at the End of the Universe; Life, the Universe, and Everything; So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish; Young Zaphoid Plays It Safe) with an additional short (Mostly Harmless). 😉

And as far as worth buying, I have several copies. 🙂 It's a wonderful book, and an experience to read. Plus an accomplishment to get all the way through as things get even more weird the further you get into it.

With this many recommendations, it's going to be impossible to ignore the book any longer. I think I'll go shopping for it during my X'mas holidays. That is, if I have enough cash left over... :brokenheart:

Otherwise, I'll end up putting it off till next year.

Oh, and what was the name of the thread we're all ignoring? I was too busy ignoring it to remember...😉
 
I'm ignoring work at this thread...wait...
I'm threading this ignore at work?
I'm working this thread at ignore????
Oh yeah!
I'm ignoring this thread at work! Ha!

And I also highly endorse/reccommend Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy!

Also don't forget Towel Day is May 25th!
