If you’ve never watched the YouTube series Thug Notes, you’re missing one of the gems of the internet. The host, Sparky Sweets, PhD, breaks down great works of literature in plain street language (only slightly NSFW). In the latest episode, he reviews The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.
Sweets manages to describe and explain the classic in a straightforward way that I’ve always struggled with. The most I can ever really tell someone about the book is that it’s deeply absurd and absurdly deep at the same time and they really should read it. Sometimes that works, but this is better. -via Tastefully Offensive
I had to explain to our son that I had to wait years before hearing it again - though I had the LP it wasn't the same.
