Stewart O'Nan

Disadvantages: If you hate baseball, this won't interest you

.... Supposedly, the Boston Red Sox are a cursed team, not having won baseball's World Series since 1918. However, every year the same dedicated fans, the Faithful, turn up for Spring training and to every game at Fenway Park, hoping beyond hope that this will be their year. For many of them, the 2004 season would be no different than usual.

Advantages: Can enjoy it with your eyes closed!
Disadvantages: Changes your own view of the characters.

...Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy is a fast paced and witty story. This will change your view of life as you know it and turn it into something more exciting with vast amounts of potential. The exciting story of Arthur Dent and some of his seemingly meaningless adventures through space, including becoming the world renowned sandwich maker, will make you smile, laugh and cry at the same time. Don't miss this special story that makes all other books look as witty as Meg and Mog go to the moon. o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o...
