Goodness this took me a long time o.o but it was completely worth it! I loved the humour in these books; somehow it managed to be hilarious and not over the top at the same time :) Really random book but would recommend it :D ( )
Includes: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Life, the Universe, and Everything, and So long, and Thanks for All the Fish.
This edition contains the first 4 books of the trilogy, and starts with the destruction of the Earth. What follows is space travel, meeting aliens, finding out about the great questions of life, the universe and everything, messages from God and so on. It's very funny and full of great characters. The books don't always flow smoothly or maintain consistency, but they are a great read. ( )

This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.
