I forgot to post when I finished the 4th book (HHGG4?), So Long and Thanks for All the Fish, but I finished it pretty recently. It was really disappointing, mostly because of itself. It started off with so much promise, then just . . . poof ran away. I’ve heard that his editor moved in to make sure that he finished the book on time. You can tell.
And just yesterday, I finished the 5th and final book, Mostly Harmless. It was much better than So Long, but I don’t know if it was really a series-ending book. Pretty interesting, though it had some disappointing aspects. I’d recommend the series to anybody interested in some good philosophy, but be prepared for the fourth book to disappoint.

It’s a pretty easy read, and once you’ve started you’ll probably get sucked in and just want to keep reading.
Good occasions to read are on the train/bus/subway, while waiting for something, on a lazy day, before going to sleep, amongst others..)
If you like it, I suggest you also read the rest of the ‘trilogy of five’, they are just as easy to read, and still keep you laughing. :)
Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_(book)#Sequels for the titles.

I had been searching for an nice edition of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy for a long time, and last week my friend found me a decent English hardcover which I picked up (after months of browsing through Dutch editions and pockets with blotchy ink).
Next step: finding time to read it.

I read the series as a young, impressionable child… Completely impossible to take my Bible classes seriously afterwards. :D
