And when you're done you go read Douglas Adams, and not just the book with the towels.

The Guide is also excellent in other forms like radio and tv and each one is slightly different.

I agree but the towel books are a good place to start. I also recommend the Dirk Gently series. But don't stop with fiction. At least read the meaning of liff.

Absolutely, and reading it today where cellphones and internet are omnipresent takes it to a whole other level.

Yes! Dirk Gently series is great too.
