This is the collective total of all of my reviews, organized for you in reverse-chronological order. It boasts all sorts of media, moderately well thought-out opinions, and an esoteric rating system to boot. There are usually no spoilers, and when I do decide to include them, they're carefully partitioned into a spoiler section at the bottom. You can read away without risk and even use this as a recommendation list. Enjoy!

Douglas Adams' classic existential comedy. My copy is one of a five-book haul that I picked to kick off the fall semester.

A 1979 Novelization of the Disney cult-classic. The movie of the same name and year is the most well known version of the story, but this is what I got my hands on first.
