My fourteenth entry in this “30 Day Challenge” is a non-fictional book.

After thinking about yesterday’s post and seeing other bloggers answers to the same question, I’m assuming this question is in reference to my favorite non-fictional book. Again, I’m assuming.

And non-fiction has always confused me as a category. Because non-fiction is supposed to be exactly the opposite of fiction, but if you really think about it, it’s really only the truth from that one point of view, which could still be entirely fictional.

Or am I just to picky?

My thirteenth entry in this “30 Day Challenge” is a fictional book.

As today is Towel Day, it seems only fitting that my favorite work of (science) fiction would also be my favorite book: “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy“, by the late Douglas Adams.

In many of the more relaxed civilizations on the Outer Eastern Rim of the Galaxy, the Hitchhiker’s Guide has already supplanted the great Encyclopaedia Galactica as the standard repository of all knowledge and wisdom, for though it has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate, it scores over the older, more pedestrian work in two important respects.

First, it is slightly cheaper; and secondly it has the words DON’T PANIC inscribed in large friendly letters on its cover.

My ninth entry in this “30 Day Challenge” is a photo that I took.

Since I take lots of pictures, I picked three that I took in the last 5 months that I thought were mentally interesting.

This one was taken with my iPhone at a friend’s house. He was hosting a birthday party for his partner. As this was the first time visiting his house, he was giving me a tour. This is what I saw on his back deck. I thought it was interesting.

This is m (milli), the Husbear’s kitteh. She likes to look out the window. I saw her sitting there and wondered what she was thinking.

We had a snow on Christmas Day. There is an old bench that was on the property when we bought the house. I move it to different spots throughout the year. I applied a filter to this image to get this look.
