How old are you?

Like the other commenter who liked it in middle school (me too), I can see you not liking it if you are past a magic age, which is early teens through perhaps college. I have this same theory about The Great Gatsby. The magical relatable age for the book to be good is not 17. It's much older.

I also think it's one of those things that works well when you heard the jokes the first time. And that was the movie. So it ruined the books for you. A lot of fans don't like the movie. Perhaps it's because they've heard the jokes before.

Frankly, the best part of THGTTG is the beginning of the first book. I think I've read four of them. The energy is hard to keep up.

> Awful and her Dr said not to worry.

Googling "black hairy tongue" gets you a bunch of the usual suspects (Mayo Clinic, WebMD) with some gnarly pictures, and all insist that it is in fact a benign condition. That's gotta be saying something because it's WebMD's job to convince anxious people they definitely have cancer.

I can see her calling her doctor and being like "Hey doc, my tongue just turned black and I'm feeling really lousy" and the doctor zeroing in on the harmless tongue and nothing else.

Women with heart attacks get blown off all the time.
