Why "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"?

My mother and I were at the table, I had just asked the questions as H/W. We got to the part where it said: Choose a Classic Book for you both to read.

"To Kill A Mockingbird"?

"Nah, sounds to mainstream"

"How about "Clockwork Mice"?

"Didn't we already read that one when I was four?"

"Oh yeah, we did...."

"Well, hmmm.... Wait, what about "The Iliad"?

"That one is a bit hard to understand, and just a bit high above your reading level."

"Something else then."

"Yes"

(PAUSE)

"OH, I KNOW!"

"WHAT!?"

"THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY!"

"Oh yeah, that was a book!"

"And a classic too!"

"Settled then!"
