Book Club - October

 

I'm almost to Book Three in the collection: Life, the Universe and Everything.

The question of which, as you know, has an answer of 42.

Even though Arthur may have the question in his brain waves, I don't really expect the author to reveal anything, because even in fiction, that's a doozy to propose.  Unless it's comedic.

It is quite a funny book,  but it also has some seriousness to it, in the science of things.  I mean, that's kind of a joke in itself too because the author is speaking in terms that aren't real or very well understood, so there's some artistic liberty there, but take this quote for example:

Its crew of four were ill at ease knowing that they had been brought together not of their own volition or by simple coincidence, but by some curious perversion of physics - as if relationships between people were susceptible to the same laws that governed the relationships between atoms and molecules.

There's just something about that, it stuck out to me, and it's now in my quote book.  I'm always drawn to ideas that we're connected, and that perhaps coincidences are a fate of sorts.  Sometimes the Universe puts us where we need to be.

So what in the Universe are you currently reading??
