"DOUGLAS ADAMS IS A TERRIFIC SATIRIST."--The Washington Post Book WorldFacing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons is a curious time to have a craving for tea. It could only happen to the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his curious comrades in arms as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbability--and desperately in search of a place to eat.Among Arthur's motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a longtime friend and expert contributor to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMillan, a fellow Earth refugee who's gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, the moody android who suffers nothing and no one very gladly. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food (literally) speaks for itself.Will they make it? The answer: hard to say. But bear in mind that the Hitchhiker's Guide deleted the term "Future Perfect" from its pages, since it was discovered not to be!"What's such fun is how amusing the galaxy looks through Adams' sardonically silly eyes."--Detroit Free PressFrom the Paperback edition.

No, szalone to było. Wariackie. Ale jakoś, dziwnym trafem, wszystko się ładnie zazębia i tworzy zaskakująco konsekwentną historię w tym odjechanym (wszech)świecie. A wyjaśnienie pochodzenia ludzkości na Ziemi wydaje się całkiem prawdopodobne.
Zaphod frappa la console avec fureur, ignorant les regards éberlués tournés vers lui. "Mon ancien moi est bien mort! délirait-il. Il s'est suicidé! Les morts ne devraient pas rester traîner dans les jambes des vivants!Le bassiste était occupé à mitrailler consciencieusement sa chambre tandis que le ...
I have read this many times as a teen and young adult, but not since I started my Goodreads account. Going back to it is supremely comforting. I'm rereading these books before bed, and it is great before bed reading. With things that I've read a lot, it's like revisiting a dream? Where my remembranc...
Martin Freeman is certainly one of the wonders of the world! I absolutely loved listening to this on my daily work commute, and I didn't even notice traffic! The story itself is deceptively light and ridiculous, but he just made it so much better! Not only did he have a distinguishable "voice" for e...
Well, this is annoying. Having just arrived back from Europe, and having travelled half way around a world you could say that I now have the holiday hangover – Jet Lag. Basically I have had about 10 hours sleep in total over the past four days, namely because I go to sleep and suddenly an hour later...
