What?? The only books that exist are:
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy ^*^
~* All five of them. Six if you count Mostly Harmless.~
I think you mean six if you count 'And Another Thing .. '
'Mostly Harmless' was the 5th book.
This is according to The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide from 1996. I will certainly be checking out And Another Thing.
~So I guess there are seven books to the trilogy.~
Edit: Ooooh, that explains it. And Another Thing wasn’t written by Adams. No wonder I never heard of it.
Young Zaphod Plays it Safe is just a short story.
Yeah, that's the one I wasn't counting as a book, but from that list I can see why some would count it.
'And Another Thing...' was fun, and I feel it belongs on the shelf right next to the others. I hope you give it a shot, and also enjoy it.
I'd recommend Dresden Files series if you want something with a wizard in it.
I’ll add it to my reading list. Thanks!
While you're at it, if you haven't done so check out any of the Discworld books by Terry Pratchet. Very good reads.
Ooh... +1 for this...
Read them some time back and would definitely read again.
There’s also atlas shrugged.
It’s like the sorting hat for terrible people.
Oh good one but that's a trick question, because nobody has actually read it in full.
Wait! You aren't supposed to finish Atlas Shrugged?

Tap for spoiler

family guy made 2 cutscenes about her being problematic.
It's also a sorting hat for people who are willing to read some of the worst prose ever written in English. Ayn Rand's turgid rants make Bulwer-Lytton's efforts look like Shakespeare. She's an even worse writer than L. Ron Hubbard.
Read the A03 Harry Potter fanfics where Harry is a trans egg
The really good a/o I've been following hasn't been updated in almost two months 😭
