Don't panic, and bring a towel.

For seasoned galactic travelers, if you're looking for the Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which includes:

  • Hitchhiker's Guide
  • The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
  • Life, the Universe, and Everything
  • So Long and Thanks for All the Fish
  • Young Zaphod Plays It Safe
  • Mostly Harmless

... this wormhole should get you there.

Also, upon conferring with both Space and Ice Pirates, I've been persuaded to also provide their contribution here in honor of the late, great Douglas Adams.

Now could you guys please untie my cats and get them off the plank?

I've never understood the love for these books. I tried my damnedest to read them, but quit halfway through the third book once I irretrievably lost what little ever existed of the plot and hadn't cracked a smile in over a hundred pages.

I really like them because they feel like how the inside of my brain looks. It may be that you don’t jive with how Adam’s writes? He did Dirk Gentlys Holistic Detective Agency if you want to try another series but if it’s not for you no worries.

Plenty of books out there.
