Most people I know have read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, however before I read the entirety of this book I had no idea that there are actually several sequels. If you thought the first book was crazy, you will not believe that it could get any crazier, or any funnier; but it does.
The rest of the books following the original are as follows: The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (which if you remember was where the characters were headed at the end of The Hitchhikers Guide); Life, The Universe and Everything; So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish (which details the fleeing of the dolphins as well as continuing to follow the central characters around the universe); Mostly Harmless; Young Zaphod Plays it Safe.
As well as continuing Arthur Dent, Zaphod, Trillian, and Marvin's journeys around the universe; the Ultimate Guide also details parallel universes, the appearance and disappearance of the Earth several times, time travel and other general craziness. I am now 60% sure that Douglas Adams was on some sort of hallucinogen when he wrote the book. Not only is it incredibly random but it is also hilarious. In case you are one of those people who thinks you don't need to read the book(s) because you saw the movie, it is completely different, for one there is no suggestion that Arthur and Trillian ever get together.
Although I think Zooey Deschanel is pretty frickn cool:
