Oh my god what a good book. This is what got me hooked on reading again. Ran across it while cleaning the library. Looked strange so I picked it up and started reading. The book follows the adventures of a British guy named Arthur Dent and his freind from another planet after Earth is demolished by space construction workers.

It's an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, Man had always assumed that he was the most intelligent species occupying the planet, instead of the *third* most intelligent. The second most intelligent were of course dolphins. Dolphins had long known of the impending destruction of earth and had on many occasions tried to alert mankind but their warnings were mistakenly interpreted as attempts to punch footballs or whistle for titbits.

The act of tucking your penis back and then proceeding to jerk yourself off from the back while your thumb is extended into your butthole.
Ray was feeling frisky today, so he tucked it back and gave himself a good ol' San Francisco Hitchhike.

its my bible.the most genious thing ever written, it pokes fun at humans, their emotions and how they go about life. one of the only humans to actually feature in it is arthur dent, a typical englishman who happened to be good friends with another life form, only finding this out a few minutes before the earth is demolished to create a hyper-space bypass.
after leaving earth, just in time for this to happen, him and his alien friend, ford prefect, set off on an adventure arthur cannot ever quite get the hang of.
the 5 books get surrealer every minute, making the planet earth seem more and more insignificant.
it ponders over life, the universe and everything and even comes up with the most genious answer to everything.
the book also introduces us to one of the best characters in existance, marvin the paranoid android, a robot with the emotions of real people which is usually depression thus creating a depressive robot, coming up with some of the best lines ever written:
