How come we've all forgotten Douglas Adams and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy? That's hilarious, as is the Restaurant at the End of the Universe , but IMHO his writing went downhill after that, so I'd suggest getting those 2 and posting a notice saying something like "Want to read the rest? ...

I've read it and The Restaurant at the End of the Universe . I like Douglas Adams, and I'm a fan of British Humor. My favorite character is Marvin the robot. I just loved him! So down and depressing... he was hilarious. But that's just me, I'm weird like that.

9. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams
I think my math may be off. Or I'm seriously not getting this book. Maybe the next one will explain it.
Just started The Restaurant at the End of the Universe . I'm hoping to finish the entire trilogy soon.
... sticker...I am starting to think I would be better off giving up meat entirely.
I guess I just want the happy cow from The Restaurant at the End of the Universe , who was fat and happy and ready to be eaten :)
I've just thought of another one. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe and its famous cow, offering itself up for a meal. Convenient? Yes. Creepy? Also yes. ;)

... The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. I've read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (and loved both!), but I'm finding Life, the Universe and Everything to be a bit slow, and not up to the quality and charm of ...

... Douglas Adams' books are. I finished The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy yesterday and am now about halfway through The Restaurant at the End of the Universe . I'll probably go through the entire series this week, which will leave me room to go back and actually read The Book on the Books ...
So in that case it's al right to combine The restaurant at the end of the universe with the omnibus of "The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy."

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made alot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move." The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams
I LOVE that line, haha.
#20 as in the song aluded to in the Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy quintet somewhere I think its in Restaurant at the end but could be mistaken, it goes something like:
Teleporting home one night
with Ron and Sid and Meg,
Ron stole Meggies heart away,
and I got Sidney's leg!
Hopefully it's a book that I still have to read, but until this date I'd either say The Lions of Al-Rassan , or Left Hand of Darkness, or the Arabesque Cycle (Pashazade, Effendi and Felaheen). These last is not fantasy but sf, but... sometimes I've a hard time making a clear distinction ...

... in different ways. In fact, I would be far happier to deprecate the Hitchhiker series (especially Mostly Harmless and Restaurant at the End of the Universe ).
::ducks::
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe is more like 160 pages, from memory, it is pretty thin. ;-)
You mean you are scared about what your non listed trades say about you?
:)
Excellent. Alright, own up. Which of the five in the trilogy is your favorite? I lean heavily towards Restaurant at the End of the Universe but could be persuaded. And, of course, there are the definitive radio plays as well.
