Yea! I'm excited everyone still wants to do this. I really do apologize for not being more on top of it---we had a crazy April at our house and I'm afraid it whooshed by a little too quickly!
So, onto the matter at hand. This months book!
Here are the suggestions
Fablehaven
Bayern
The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy
The Picture of Dorian Gray
The one that got picked (through the very scientific process of throwing names on the floor and choosing one) is
The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams
Here is a snyopsis: Join Douglas Adams's hapless hero Arthur Dent as he travels the galaxy with his intrepid pal Ford Prefect, getting into horrible messes and generally wreaking hilarious havoc. Dent is grabbed from Earth moments before a cosmic construction team obliterates the planet to build a freeway. You'll never read funnier science fiction; Adams is a master of intelligent satire, barbed wit, and comedic dialogue. The Hitchhiker's Guide is rich in comedic detail and thought-provoking situations and stands up to multiple reads. Required reading for science fiction fans, this book (and its follow-ups) is also sure to please fans of Monty Python, Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, and British sitcoms.
