I read all four of the books whilst in Thailand. Excellent series, and cannot wait for the film to be released.


Psst...there are five...

Not reading anything at the moment. Keep meaning to ask Stu if he recommends any of his books, as I'm not buying any more books until the end of the month when a few of the ones I want are finally published. (Or at least, that's what I keep telling myself.)

seriously the book I'm reading right now is called: 104 activities that build: self-esteem, teamwork, communication, anger management, self-discovery, and coping skills...it's for work lol

I rather like it and i think they will be able to use alot of the activities in the book for camp this year.

Five?? You sure? I had the collection all in one, and there was only four, I think.....

What are the five then??

Just checked the douglas adams site, and the only one I can think you mean is nearly harmless, but I believe that is not part of the hitchhikers series. As arthur Dent goes home after so long, and thanks for all the fish.

Or did I miss something?

In English for second semester we're doing "book a week", and we get to choose the books we want to read (as opposed to reading the classics the teacher chose for us last semester).
For that I'm currently reading The Horn of a Lamb by Robert Sedlack, and just finished up with a book I really enjoyed called Lures, for which I can't remember the name of the author.

Mostly Harmless is the fifth one but it's not strictly part of it.

It was always a trilogy of four, but if you buy the newer box sets it's a trilogy of five with Mostly Harmless as the fifth.
