'People of Earth, your attention please. This is Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz of the Galactic Hyperspace Planning Council. Plans for development of the outlying regions of the galaxy require the building of a hyperspatial express route through your star system, and regrettably your planet is scheduled for demolition.

The process will take slightly less than two of your Earth minutes. Thank you.'

DON'T PANIC

For Arthur Dent, earthling and homeowner, the severe case of planning blight announced above is the overture to a quite remarkable set of travels, guided en route by an equally remarkable book--a book more popular than the Celestial Home Care Omnibus, cheaper than the Encyclopedia Galactica, it's...THE HITCH HIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY! --back cover

Review of "The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" on 'Goodreads'

I can't say enough! Douglas Adams has mastered the art of dry, ironic humor. So far, I've talked to people who love the book, and people who hate it; there seem to be no "it's OK" people. Interesting. I will definitely keep the rest of the series on my list.

Review of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" on 'Goodreads'

Probably one of the most delicious sci-fi reads I've had. I read it in high school, and have gone back and read it several times since. A must read for anyone who ever used Babel Fish to translate things on the web. And, don't forget to bring a towel.
