The idea behind this site was also partly inspired by this great book by Douglas Adams. That book is probably one of the best works of the 20th century. It's a definitive must read book for everyone.

Adams used quite a lot of innocent humor in which we can see all the drawbacks of our civilization(s). The actual work spans through 6 stories, or books, which should be all read. There was also a movie recently but it is (as all movies based on books are) not even close to the book.

The book so perfectly makes no sense that you won't ever notice it. The story will perfectly fit even though you will many times be left pretty much confused, just to get relived a few pages after when things get sorted out and explained.

This was not really a review just a recommendation as a great book to read. I took it with me to a long business trip and there is nothing better than reading something really innocent and relaxing in the evening after all the fuss at work.

Here's a few selected lines from the book that will demonstrate what you can expect from this book. You probably won't understand it without reading the whole book, but here it is:

He [Ford] picked up the letter Q and hurled it into a distant pivet bush where it hit a young rabbit. The rabbit hurtled off in terror and didn't stop till it was set upon and eaten by a fox which choked on one of its bones and died on the bank of a stream which subsequently washed it away.

And it goes on in the next line:

During the following weeks Ford Prefect swallowed his pride and struck up a relationship with a girl who had been a personnel officer on Golgafrincham, and he was terribly upset when she suddenly passed away as a result of drinking water from a pool that had been polluted by the body of a dead fox. The only moral it is possible to draw from this story is that one should never throw the letter Q into a pivet bush, but unfortunately there are times when it is unavoidable.
