The Earth follows shortly afterwards to make way for a new hyperspace express route, and his best friend has just announced that he's an alien. At this moment, they're hurtling through space with nothing but their towels and an innocuous-looking book inscribed, in large friendly letters, with the words: DON'T PANIC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Restaurant at the End of the Universe:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you've done six impossible things this morning, why not round it off with breakfast at Milliways, the Restaurant at the end of the Universe?Which is exactly what Arthur Dent and the crew of the Heart of Gold plan to do.

However, just as he thinks that things cannot get possibly worse, they suddenly do. An eddy in the space-time continuum lands him, Ford Prefect, and their flying sofa in the middle of the cricket ground at Lord's, just two days before the world is due to be destroyed by the Vogons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo Long, and Thanks for All the Fish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is a knack to flying.

First the IRA, then the PLO and the Gas Board. Even British Nuclear Fuels rushed out a statement to the effect that the situation was completely under control, that it was a one in a million chance, that there was hardly any radioactive leakage at all and that the site of the explosion would make a nice location for a day out with the kids and a picnic, before finally having to admit that it wasn't actually anything to do with them at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Salmon of Doubt:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis sublime collection dips into the wit and wisdom of the man behind The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, uncovering his unique comic musings on everything from his school-trousers to malt whisky and from the letter Y through to his own nose, via atheism, hangovers and fried eggs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout The Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDouglas Noël Adams was an English author, humourist, and screenwriter.
