Oddly, as much as I have enjoyed Douglas Adams Dirk Gently novels, I had never read all the Hitchhikers books. A trilogy of five parts. So I started again and read the lot, enjoying it immensly; especially as I’d just read the dire Starship Titanic. There Adams’ books, so the plot is secondary to the dialogue, it’s this that makes his novels so good — of course they’d be better if they had a plot but you can’t have everything can you. I won’t sumise, you know the plot — or at least some of it — all I will add is it is worth the uneven ride. Non Hitchhikers and not reccommended –
