Default Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy(trilogy)

Ok, I've started reading the "trilogy" which I found out there was four books, from 2 friends, then found out there was a fifth, which made me chuckle silently, but I've been haulted so far on reading, because it seems someone decided to steal the freakin' 2nd book of the series out of my school library x.X so that sucks, but it's funny none the less!

watcha gotta do is get the delux leatherbound collection of the series. all five books in one glorious tome. but yeah, the "trilogy" is five books long, making it quite possibly the largest trilogy known to man. they also released a book recently called The Salmon of Doubt (Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy one last time). its esseinaly the unreleased works of Douglas Adams, but i'm not sure what/how much relation it has to the HHGG series.

There's a fifth?! I wish to know the title of this book of mystery, so that I might find it, and learn from it.

Just in case I skipped one, I'll list the ones I have read.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Restaurant at the End of the Universe
Life, the Universe, and Everything
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

Tell me what I need to make my life complete.

It has a short story involving Zaphod, a few rough chapters of a Dirk Gently novel, bits of his auto biography, and bits of some of his essays.

Yeah, it's Mostly Harmless like Elflad said. Also, from the back of my copy:
Quote:
Just when Arthur Dent makes the terrible mistake of starting to enjoy life, all hell breaks loose. Can he save the Earth from total obliteration? Can he save the Guide from a hostile alien takeover? Can he save his daughter from himself?
Yes, daughter. It'll make sense when you read the book.

Incidentally Arc, and without getting into spoilers - if you're happy where things are at where book four ends, just stop reading.

I swear, Mostly Harmless is one of those books I wish I could just un-read.

You should check out the new BBC radio series (I think there's going to be a "complete" CD set coming along this winter which collects all the old and new episodes.) Apparently they end the series on a much less depressing note, while still staying true to Adams' story.
