If you have seen my

Twitter Account,

@JimTwoBuckHowie,

or my

Facebook Page,

TwoBuck Howie,

you will have noticed that I have been voting for books on the
PBS's

"The Great American Read."

There are

One Hundred Books

to choose from

and I could not decide on just one book.

I have voted for seven books so far that I believe are worthy of being number one.

Everything from

1984,

Catch-22,

to

The Lord Of The Rings

 trilogy.

But how could I not vote for one of my favorite books of all time.

Especially on the day it was released back in 1979!

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!

“My doctor says that I have a malformed public-duty gland and a natural deficiency in moral fibre,” Ford muttered to himself, “and that I am therefore excused from saving Universes.”

 There was a

BBC TV Series

back in

1981

which was broadcast on

PBS

in the

United States.

"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools."

Then there was a major motion picture in

2005.

"For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much — the wheel, New York, wars and so on — whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man — for precisely the same reasons."

And once you read the first one,

there are five more books in the series.

“Since we decided a few weeks ago to adopt the leaf as legal tender, we have, of course, all become immensely rich.”

You can even buy the books in other languages!

“Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.”

Well, 

I hope I have at least influenced you into going to

PBS's The Great American Read

to check out

and vote for your favorite books.

This is,
Reading Is Fundamental,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer”
- Douglas Adams -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
