Post One/Uno

For this quarter's outside reading, two very interesting novels have caught my mind. It's basically a tie between The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams and A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway. The main reason for choosing both of these books is because they are full of action and suspense. While Adams' novel is one of the most inspirational comedies, Hemingway's novel is an unforgettable love-war story. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is also the first book in "the increasingly inaccurately named Hitchhiker's Trilogy" which could keep me reading for awhile. On the other hand, A Farewell to Arms is one of Hemingway's greatest pieces of literature. As for my decision, I will tell you on next week's post. I'm look forward to beginning one of these novels which I predict will be an excellent and interesting choice for my outside reading.
