Got myself a copy of Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy. Yes, I am the very last person in the universe to get a particular book everyone has already read, yet again.
Thoroughly enjoying it so far.
The book is a 2005 hardcover edition, I got it second-hand via amazon. It is fairly large, has black leather cover and it's gilded on the sides (no word about this nonsense in its description). It looks like the Good Book (your choice which), and I thoroughly confuse my fellow subway riders with it. When I get this incunabulum out of my backpack people take me for a Talmudic scholar or a born-again dude. And then they freak out when I start laughing whilst reading it.
Added fun, I tell you.

"Theirs was a New York love, a checkered taxi ride burning rubber, and like the city their passion was open 24/7, steam rising from their bodies like slick streets exhaling warm, moist, white breath through manhole covers stamped 'Forged by DeLaney Bros., Piscataway, N.J."'
I cracked up at work :)
