Its actually a three part series. I have read the first two, and they were very, very funny.
I highly suggest them.

here, take a look at this photo and see for yourself

The last book I still haven't read tho and a recent one was written in 92, though some don't consider it not in the series. (Mostly Harmless)

Awesome books! I got them from the library and found myself wanting to read them over and over. I ended up buying them from barnes and noble! Highly recommended!

wrong wrong wrong! it's a -5- part trilogy

you also forgot the book published after he died- Salmon of A Doubt. Truly, -no- Douglas Adams fan should be without reading it!

Also, no fan of Hitch hiker's should forget to read the Dirk Gently books- they are truly ingenious...

It's possible to not like douglas adam's writings, I guess. But to anyone who loves the irrelevant, the offbeat, the absolutely wrong and yet in reality, actual life, then you'll love Douglas Adams. ...Who couldn't after reading the fifth book in a [tri]logy?

It was actually made into a multiple-part miniseries for the BBC a while back, and the original version of Hitch hiker's was actually a radio show, but Douglas Adams actually died seeing his work being turned into a movie- which for a while, we all thought was lost. But actually, it's finally coming- with trailers coming soon.

if you go to the official hitchikers movie site there's a teaser trailer up...not with characters though, which is a bit dissapointing, but it's a good site

I love these books. I have The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Life, the Universe and Everything, So Long and Thanks for all the Fish, Mostly Harmless, and Young Zaphod Plays it Safe. Now they have a trailor with the characters it looks great!

[band_sticker]

It is actually a trilogy of five books. (not the three or four that had previously been stated)

They were all written by Douglas Adams

It is an excellent series. It is advised to read the books in order, since it gets a bit confusing if you read them out of order.

The movie has been being worked on for a LONG time. It had just been at the beginnings of picking a cast when Douglas Adams died, and it was put on hold for quite a while after that. For a while there was talk that it was not ever going to be made into a movie.
