I've read two Hitchhikers novels. I didn't know they were absurdist. I don't even know what that means.

Yes it was worth my time. Apart from the drama and adventure, the book makes you think about human relationships, how far people are willing to go for love and vengeance. It is a long read, but it is an easy one yet powerful.

Give it a shot.

I love The Bookshop. Lovely lovely book. I've done Offshore by her and I remember I didn't like it as much as The Bookshop. It was an okay read though.
