The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Amazon Description:
Join Douglas Adams's hapless hero Arthur Dent as he travels the galaxy with his intrepid pal Ford Prefect, getting into horrible messes and generally wreaking hilarious havoc. Dent is grabbed from Earth moments before a cosmic construction team obliterates the planet to build a freeway. You'll never read funnier science fiction; Adams is a master of intelligent satire, barbed wit, and comedic dialogue. The Hitchhiker's Guide is rich in comedic detail and thought-provoking situations and stands up to multiple reads. Required reading for science fiction fans, this book (and its follow-ups) is also sure to please fans of Monty Python, Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, and British sitcoms.

The Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything

Without any doubt one of the most absurdly funny books written to date; the first volume of a “trilogy in six parts” that follows the cosmic adventures of Arthur Dent after the earth is destroyed to make way for an interstellar highway.


This book will train your abdominal muscles and hold up a mirror. Highly recommended!

42!!

This is a great book.  Very British humor, but absolutely hilarious.

 Sometimes we are thrust into our Journeys, much like Arthur, rather than choosing them.  This book illustrates how even though we may not be willingly adventuring, it can be a wild and great ride.

Although it ends rather abruptly, the sequels pick up on the story, and are well worth reading.

This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it was not the small pieces of paper that were unhappy.
