Indeed. One of the best works of sci fi out there, in my opinion. Just picked up the sixth book in the series by Eoin Colfer. Not sure what to make of it, although I've heard it's a pretty good approximation to Douglas Adams' style.And of course, how can you not adore Hitch Hiker's Guide? I started reading The Salmon of Doubt by Douglas Adams recently. The first part is a collection of articles and introductions, and the second part is the actual novel - pieced together from a few different versions he had written before his death. I'm not far in yet, but I've been laughing out loud on buses and in coffee shops all week
