Any fan of Douglas Adams should read this book. It is hilarious and well written, and it gives you intriguing glimpses into the the author's mind that you just can't get any other way. After reading this book, Adams's other works instantly became more interesting because I knew WHY he included certain things and where his inspiration came from. For example, in his first Dirk Gently novel, the main character realizes that Bach's musical masterpieces are actually the sound of life itself - this is because Douglas Adams adored Bach with a passion. Little insights like that make his other books entirely more enjoyable.
