If it doesn't flip you over and do you twice, you need help. ( )

It takes a bit to get into the flow of Adams's writing, but once you accept his universe, it's one of the funniest things around. ( )

This is a volume of four books. Its kinda big. I'll discuss each separately.

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

Ok, so this is a classic. I hadn't read it in years though, and it's still awesome. Loved it. Things to note that I hadn't thought of before -- "SubEtha" is talked about a lot, that probably explains "SubEtha Edit" which is an editor I have used in the past; the term "Googleplex" is used in the book, its also the name of the campus I work on; I love the idea of depressed computers, I should see if I can whip one up.

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

Another classic. This book is probably a little better than The Hichhiker's Guide because it doesn't have to spend so much time explaining the background to the story. It is a very fast read, just like the other book, and I enjoyed it.

Life, the Universe and Everything

Another classic from the trilogy of four. I'd always known that Cricket was somehow evil.

So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish

This is the final book in the Hitchhiker's Guide trilogy, and to be honest I think this one is better than the third book. I enjoyed it, and I think the real strength of the book is that it doesn't try to hard to be a sequel.

Much funnier than the movie. Adams is a witty writer. It had me laughing out loud on my commute. ( )

A trilogy in four parts - its took four parts to get all the jokes in. The first two are brilliant the second two just great. A great read. The BBC TV serie was wonderful and captured the tone of the books so well. Its a pity we didn't learn more about the the dolphins in the last book. ( )
