Has anyone read the books? I love them! They're totally my sense of humour. Favourite bits include when the dolphins swim off "So long and thanks for all the fish", Deep Thought "Forty-two" and Marvin the Paranoid Android "Life, don't talk to me about life". I was in stitches throughout the entire thrilogy in four parts as I am yet to read the third.

I'm a bit surprised that no one has made a topic about it sooner actually...

I haven't read it yet, but trust me, I plan to. Everyone on PPT and IRL keeps telling me to read it and I keep seeing it in the bookstore. However, both my laziness and lack of money is keeping me from buying it.
Someday...someday.

Buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it... I'm gonna keep bugging you until you do and I do have an annoyingly shrill voice. Buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it etc.

trilogy in four parts?
i see you dont have motly harmless, the biggest temporal/dimensional paradox ive ever seen...

Spoiler:
The Mark 2 guide (an interdimensionl sentient bird.. thing... long story with that thing alone) has manipulated, time, space and heck, even dimensions, to get the earth destroyed, several people... "dealt with" to end the Krickit threat and various other stuff i wont even pretend to remember. the entire hitchhikers guide to the galaxy series turns out to be the insane whims of this insane bird thing?! (it can travel throughout time, space and dimensions at whill -hence how its able to affect things that occured several years before it creation

like i said. nuts.

I read Hitchikers but what are the other ones in the series. The movie was really good.

The nastiest Temporal/Dimensional Paradox in the history of Paradoxes.
if it were a dinosaur it would be a Seismosaurus, if it were a transformer it would be unicron, if it were a world power it would be Microsoft.
that kind of nasty doesnt even cover its evilness.
it hurt my head until i embraced the order in its chaos.

I got through the first two chapters before my friend snatched it back :( It was hilarious. Especially liked that "nailed to a tree" thing xD

I'm itching to finish it, but I can't find the first book in the library >.<

I read most of them all. I have this unbeilievably thick version that's every book fused into one. I like how they showed how the population of the universe is 0. And apparently it also shows how 1=2 or 1=0 or something like that. someone care to explain that?

Salmon of Doubt isn't part of the HHGTTG series; it was intended to be part of the Dirk Gently series (which I recommend to any Hitchhiker's Guide fan).

By the way, May 25th is Towel day (http://www.towelday.kojv.net)

I've read the first one and I love it, but I can't seem to find a set that contains the other four. I'll probably get it for my birthday though, along with a chance to see the movie.

It's got to be the most brilliant thing I've ever read. I've never realized that many of the random phrases I've heard before came from that book.

Thats not in hitchhikers, but there is an eqaution that porves such a thing, Douglas Adams did indeed love the eqaution, even if he didnt get it into any version fo the Trilogy (of five parts) that ive read.
though, there are many, many (many) versions that ive not read.
though the one you speak of (the fused one) is considered the one thats right ("anything thats wrong here, stays wrong forever as far as im concerned :P)
