Life, the Universe and Everything by Douglas Adams

The books sharply blended laugh out loud dry comedic wit with genuinely intriguing science fiction ideas. The books have gone on to sell over 15 million copies worldwide. Along the way, he meets characters such as experienced hitchhiker Ford Prefect, the two-headed Zaphod Beeblebrox, and the depressed robot Marvin. Although certain details were changed between the various adaptations, the overall story remains the same: it follows the adventures of the last surviving man from Earth, Arthur Dent, after he is rescued before the Earth is destroyed to make way for an interstellar bypass and journeys across the galaxy, using the in-version guidebook The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy for help. He wrote the famed The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, a comedy science fiction series first created as a radio drama before being adapted into books, a TV series, video games, and a feature film. Adams needs no introduction, being a prolific author, scriptwriter, humorist, and essayist with a profound influence on British culture. The people could not understand what the computer meant, but then it said that if they wanted to know what the question of Everything was, they had to make another computer which was built to find out what the question was.Today is March 11th, which marks the birthday of famed British author Douglas Adams. 7.5 million years of calculating, it came to the answer «42». Therefore they made this computer, called Deep Thought, which was supposed to calculate the answer. Some millions of years ago, philosophers and scientists were so interested in finding the meaning of Life, the Universe and Everything.

I would say that the main plot of this bookseries is finding the question of Life, the Universe and Everything. After a while they meet Trillian, who Arthur had a little thing for when they both lived on Earth, and Zaphod, Trillian's new boyfriend, a so-called 'douchebag' who just happens to be the President of the Galaxy. As the Earth gets destroyed by the Vogons, some horrifying aliens that never think of others but themselves, Ford and Arthur hitchhike their way to a random place in the universe. In the series «The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy», written by the English author Douglas Adams, you meet with Arthur Dent the relatively normal British man who just happens to find out that his friend Ford Prefect is from the planet of Betelgeuse.

It is filled with strange actions and witty comments, and I must confess it made me laugh plenty of times. This bookseries is very special in a way, because the real plot always gets covered up and forgotten due to other things happening in the story.
