The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

I never read this book as a young one, so of course I had to check in on what all the hype is about. To me, this book is a funny sci fi adventure. There is a space opera element, but since the story starts on earth and it involves some paradigm stretching stuff, I'll disqualify its space opera status.

This is a funny book, as in on almost every page there's an attempt to make you laugh. And sometimes these gags fall flat. Sometimes they bog down the story. But it's all in good fun. The proglem is I could never figure out when to read fast and when to read slow, so I can tell what's happening in the story. I didn't have the patience of a true Douglas Adams enjoyer.

Hearburn by Nora Ephron

I really liked the movie Heartburn, starring Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson. So the book intrigued me, noting Ephron's other credentials, like the script for Sleepless in Seattle.

The vibe of the book is entirely different. Instead you get Ephron's chatty narrative with many recipes thrown in. The type of intimacy is much different in the book, as you get to know a lot more about the narrator's opinions and general take, instead of just taking in the visuals of her story.

So I would highly recommend this one, along with the film. If you're not having fun with reading, Heartburn will cure that and really suck you in.
