One Thursday lunchtime the Earth gets unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass. For Arthur Dent, who has only just had his house demolished that morning, this seems already to be rather a lot to cope with. Sadly, however, the weekend has only just begun., The Galaxy may offer a mind-boggling variety of ways to be blown up and/or insulted, but it's very hard to get a cup of tea.

A book I keep returning to.

How many times have I read this book? 10? 20? Audiobooks read by multiple narrators, the single edition of the book, the collected trilogy, the collected trilogy in four parts, all the different radio plays, the re-collected trilogy in five parts, the Vogon poetry tributes, etc.

Yet, still, I encounter things I don't remember.

How is it that I can't just quote it, verbatim from memory at this point?
