Don't Panic!

I just finished reading the first book in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. If you liked the movie, you will love the book. For those unfamiliar with the story, it follows the crazy adventure of Arthur Dent, an earthling who is transported from the planet just seconds before it is demolished to make way for an interstellar highway. Along the way, he meets up with an assortment of wonderful characters like the two-headed President of the Galaxy (and fugitive), Zaphod Beeblebrox and Marvin, the clinically depressed robot.
The entire story is incredibly imaginative and funny. I can easily recommend it to anybody who likes sci-fi and/or dry British humor.
