Don't panic! You're not timetripping! It's the tenth anniversary of the publication of Douglas Adams's zany, best-selling novel, and to celebrate Harmony is reissuing a special edition of this cult classic!

Revisiting some old friends :)
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.

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.
