Re: Book club - November discussion: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

I didn't get around to re-reading this, but I have read it before (although it's been years) and I do remember loving it. I think the the style of the humor - while not completely foreign to me from having watched Monty Python and old Doctor Who, including Douglas Adams episodes of the latter - felt pretty novel to me at the time. This would have been in the mid-90s when a lot of the scifi I consumed was pretty serious, or at least trying to be.

I remember trying to read more books in the series but being really disappointed because even though the jokes were of the same style, they all fell flat. I didn't find them funny at all, I didn't even finish the second one - I dropped it partway through and skipped to the third, then gave up entirely a few pages in.

Yeah, if you were into sci-fi at the time I can see how the contrast could be very appealing. I was still a kid in the 90s, so I didn't read it then, heh.

Sorry the rest of the series wasn't as fun for you :(

I love Monty Python, but I don't think I'd enjoy it as much now as I did when I first watched The Holy Grail and some of the skits. I think maybe I'm pulling away a little from some of that kind of wacky humor. (But I still make Monty Python jokes with my family and love the memes.)
