The listing, Douglas Adams: The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy has ended.
The book that started the Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, from the legendary Douglas Adams. Sci-fi satire at it's best, with imagery that will change the way you look at the world. You will not regret reading this, under any circumstances.
Here's a couple quotes for you:
The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't.
He had an odd feeling of being like a man in the act of adultery who is surprised when the woman's husband wanders into the room, changes his trousers, passes a few idle remarks about the weather and leaves again.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
The synopsis from the back:
Seconds before the Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by a friend Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy who, for the last fifteen years, has been posing as an out of work actor.
Together this dynamic pair began a journey through space aided by quotes from the Hitchhiker's Guide (" A towel is the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have") and a galaxy-full of fellow travelers: Zaphod Beeblebros: the twoheaded, three armed ex-hippie and totally out to lunch president of the galaxy; Trillian, Zaphod's girlfriend, whom arthur tried to pick up at a cocktail party once upon a time zone; Marvin, a paranoid, brilliant, and chronically depressed robot; Veet Voojagig, a former graduate student who is obsessed with the disappearance of all the ballpoint pens he bought over the years.
Where are these pens? Why are we born? Why do we die? Why do we spend so much time in between wearing digital watches? For all the answers, stick your thumb to the stars. And don't forget to bring a towel!
