The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

This book guides us through this fictional world where Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect will travel around the universe, meeting people and getting into situations that will make us laugh, but also makes us to think about deep questions and behaviors we have and could make even a mentality change for us, at leas for me it was.

One of my favorite scenarios is at the beginning when we read this ironic scene first as Arthur getting his house destroyed by some men, with this excuse of blaming Arthur for not checking the plans for a roads construction; just being followed by some aliens doing exactly the same for our planet, getting it destroyed. This is a funny situation as an hypothetical one, but when we think a little more about it, we can find this empathy lesson, for us not to just look at our position, but to think in the other person and to have considerations it's a difficult thing, and I take this as a lesson for us, don't be a son of a b$%*!

One of my favorite characters for this book is Marvin, the depressed robot that we find at the Golden Hearth ship, I can relate to him in some way, I had some moments when I feel that sad and with that little joy for what's next; when he starts talking to this other ship and this one ends with it's suicide, maybe a little extreme as example but it's the sensation for a depressed person, so being really helpful instead of ignoring this kind of attitude seem very important to me.

For last, I like the philosophy shown to us that you must adapt and go on, and in every step, to learn something new, there is plenty of world or universe that we don't know or understand, so move on, learn more and the most important thing, enjoy, because we don't know how much time we have left.
