How bad is this?
I'm trying to start reading and I remember liking these books when I was a teenager.
I, however, remember the author relying on randomness as the main source of humor and the thought of it really makes me cringe. I feel ashamed to have this on my book shelf.
Should I just follow the memes and start with the Greek epics?

Listen to the radio version it's much better than the novel

this. Also, as for the style of humor, yes, it's pretty british and whimsical, in a proto-futurama sort of way. It's allright. I'd say it's worth going for

Posts like this make me cringe harder than this book ever could

Britbong here. What's wrong with randomness?
>Should I just follow the memes and start with the Greek epics?
No. Start by finding something you personally enjoy (which may or may not be a Greek epic). Try the sticky and/or visit your local library.

Hey, at least OP didn't refer to the book as 'reddit'.

For absurd humour that forms more of a 'proper novel' and less of a succession of wacky events, you could try Catch-22.
Possibly also Kurt Vonnegut- I've only read Sirens of Titan, but it seemed like a more serious version of Hitchhiker's Guide.
