"Hitchhiker's Guide was my first science fiction novel at the age of 10. I fell in love with the genre as a result of this book. This is usually the first novel that pops into my mind when I this about rereading a comedy or a sci fi novel."

"When I think classics this is the first book I think of. I read this book for the first time for my 5th grade english class because my teacher did not believe me when I told her I had already read all of the books on her assigned list before entering the 5th grade. She thought I was being smart so she grabbed the book out of her purse she was currently reading said how about this one? She was holding up a copy of Pride and Prejudice. I said nope and took it from her, then told her I would have the report ready for her by the end of the week. As a result I fell in love with Jane Austin and proceeded to read all of her works I could get my hands on."

"The young adult novel ever written. I read this book the first time over 20 years ago at the age 8 and have since wore out three books. I still a person favorite that I will pull off the shelf to read at least four times a year."
