Just as Arthur Dent's sense of reality is in its dickiest state he suddenly finds the girl of his dreams. He finds her in the last place in the Universe in which he would expect to find anything at all, but which 3,976,000,000 people will find oddly familiar. They go in search of God's Final Message to His Creation and, in a dramatic break with tradition, acutally find it. (back cover)
Read these as a teenager, and they perfectly summarize and encapsulate my sense of humour. Plus the Young Zaphod story with the bit about the space suits and the vomiting, which makes me giggle to this day.
