After watching the movie about ten times in the last couple of months, I have decided to go ahead and read the book. It was read to my sixth grade class by out teacher, but that was a LONG time ago, so I figured I would re read it...

CanadaGal @CanadaGal (4304) • Canada 28 Feb 08

It seems like such a silly question, doesn't it? I live in Canada, and we are inundated with pizza places. And to the best of my knowledge, they all deliver. I have at least 10 different pizza joint flyers coming to my home each...

Hitchhiker's guide books and movie

draconess @draconess (650) • Canada 5 Feb 07

So who's read the books? It's one of my favorite series ever, one I can read over and over again and keep laughing. I love the writing technique, and how later books explain little things from the first one (like finding out what...
