April 29, 2002: This was, by far, the most hilarious collection of writing I have EVER read. The way that it made no sense and too much sense at the same time was phenomenal, and the sinister and slapstick humor went together like cheese and ham. Adams' own original way of describing things is priceless ('Mr. L. Prosser was, as they say, only human. In other words he was a carbon-based bipedal life form descended from an ape. More specifically, he was forty, fat and shabby and worked for the local council.') I recommend this book to anyone who likes to totally lose themselves in a crazy adventure that will lead them into the most insane places of Douglas Adams' mind. Believe, after the first page, you'll be hooked.
