Greg clued me in to a link found on digg.com<\/a> to a page that contains a list of the Top 20 Geek Novels<\/a> written in English since 1932. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy<\/em> is #1. I just finished the Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide<\/em>. I actually liked it. My favorites were The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy<\/em> and Mostly Harmless<\/em>.<\/p>\n

So I guess I am a partial geek since I have read one out of the top 20. While perusing the list, I see that my husband has read several. hehe. Go figure. I bolded the ones that I know Greg has read and we thus own. <\/p>\n
