The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ~Douglas Adams

I first read this book the summer before I went to college. Yes, there was a movie based on the book (it wasn't that great). I still tell everyone to read the series before they go to college. Although it really has no relevance to college it is a great read and one not to be skipped. Also more than likely it will give you and your new roommate something to talk about when you are moving into the dorm!

My favorite part of the book was learning about the Infinate Improbability Drive. If only there was such a thing. It is also fun to see how many of the things in the book have translated to things for computers or the internet. For example babelfish programs on the internet translate webpages and text to other languages.
