The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Liz:
At this point I have only seen the movie, which I own and love. I plan on reading the book as soon as it is returned to my local library and I actually have the time to read fiction and not class materials.
Ying-Yang-Yong:
Well, it's not just the one book. There are five:
The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
Life, the Universe and Everything
So Long, and Thanks for All The Fish
Mostly Harmless

Liz:
Well yes, I know, but I was saying that I will be reading "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" because that is the title of the book and the title of this thread. Context, my friend, context.
Storm Rider:
Americano is shots of espresso in hot water. Basically, diluted espresso to cut down on the bitterness but still get all the extra caffeine.
Jackie Blue:
I read the series around 20 years ago (aside from Mostly Harmless, obviously, which I read when it was released).
It's okay. It's a lot better when you're 12 or 13. I wouldn't say it's "filled to the brim" with witty remarks and "quantum physics". You're giving it far too much credit.
Not only that, but Mostly Harmless was an absolutely dreadful, depressing piece of business.
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency is my favorite novel of his by a fair margin.
That said, I'll take one Terry Pratchett novel over everything Adams ever wrote.
