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.

I've never understood the love for these books. I tried my damnedest to read them, but quit halfway through the third book once I irretrievably lost what little ever existed of the plot and hadn't cracked a smile in over a hundred pages.
Tbh, I think the first two books are the best and it finishes perfectly for me there. It feels like that's where he was on a roll creatively and his heart was really still into it. That might not actually be true, but that's how it feels.
Douglas Adams himself didn't like the third book although I still like bits of it. The fourth and fifth I don't enjoy much - they're not bad books, just not very funny.
