The Hitchhiker'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
Plus a bonus short story, Young Zaphod Plays it Safe and An Undeleted Scene.
Presenting Douglas Adams' wholly remarkable comedy sci-fi series in one massively useful volume: the total package for any interstellar hitchhiker.*
One Thursday lunchtime the Earth is unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspatial express route. For Arthur Dent, rescued by his best friend Ford (who, even more unexpectedly, turns out to be from another planet), this already seems rather a lot to cope with. Unfortunately, his travels have only just begun. The Galaxy may offer a mind-boggling variety of ways to be blown up and insulted, but it's very hard to get a cup of tea...

After reading through the entire series for the second time, I'm not sure I dare to say what it's about about, if anything, but it is a fun read, and at least half the joy is in the style of writing as much as the irreverent scenes Adams illustrates.
