Don’t panic, and bring a towel.

For seasoned galactic travelers, if you’re looking for the Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, which includes:

  • Hitchhiker’s Guide
  • The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
  • Life, the Universe, and Everything
  • So Long and Thanks for All the Fish
  • Young Zaphod Plays It Safe
  • Mostly Harmless

… this wormhole should get you there.

Also, upon conferring with both Space and Ice Pirates, I’ve been persuaded to also provide their contribution here in honor of the late, great Douglas Adams.

Now could you guys please untie my cats and get them off the plank?

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move

The last time I went through this book I did it on audio format, read by Stephen Fry. It was glorious.

It’s great for sure, but it differs from the book in quite a few ways. Just as the television show differed from the books and the movie differed from the TV show. All are strongly recommended!

An undeniable classic. Still one of my favourite book series of all time.

If you feel like listening to Stephen Fry talking in your ears for 6 hours (why the heck wouldn’t you), I Highly recommend getting the audiobook.

Or just listen to the original BBC radio series, from which the book was adapted.

My favorite of all time.

I like the tv series from bbc as well, it’s a great watch. The movie was fun but not as good in my opinion.

When everyone was really getting into the movie Don’t Look Up last year I watched it and all it did was make me sad and annoyed so I went back and rewatched the HtG series. Much better experience in all aspects.

I’ve still got a lot of time for the film from '05. Great casting and some genuinely stand out moments.
