Many years ago a friend of mine who was studying philosophy handed me a book telling me that I had to read it, it is the greatest philisophical work of the twentieth century. The book was the Hitchhikers Guide. Well, I can't remember ever having laughed so hard at a book. I went on to read all the books in the "Trilogy". At the time I didn't see where my buddy was coming from with the philosophy comment, but I re-read it again and I now see his point. Zaphod, Marvin, Arthur, Elvis, the Vogons. Hilarious yet brilliant stuff.

Mr. Adams, you'll be missed.
