I told him that I have little time to read, but I’ve started Douglas Adams’ _The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy_. The leather-bound volume contains _The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy_, _The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe_, _Life, The Universe, And Everything_, _So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish_ and _Mostly Harmless_. I read _The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy_ right after living out of _Let’s Go: Europe_ for a month and a half, so I could really relate. I’ve never read _Mostly Harmless_ .

Next in the queue are _The Iliad_ and _The Odyssey_ by Homer, and then maybe _Le Morte d’Arthur_ by Sir Thomas Mallory.

So I’ll be re-reading books I’ve already read, plus _Mostly Harmless_ and _Le Morte d’Arthur._

So many books, so little time…

I’ve been re-reading Lois McMaster Bujold’s Vorkosigan series. They’re all books I’ve already read a few times so I’m not doing them in any particular order.
