The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams
I'm a fan of hitchhikers in general and the books as well, pocket portable entertainment. I wonder what it would have been like to read the books first, I can't help but think of the TV characters as I'm reading. All of the books are good except for the last one, Mostly Harmless. Too much time had passed and it doesn't fit right with the others, just too new.
