Best Hitchhiker book

   Best Series Ever, but the best book in the best series? 
Obviously a topic worth arguing about.

I know The Salmon of Doubt isn't OFFICIALLY a Hitchhiker book, but, according to Adams in an interveiw, If he ever finished it, it could be the Next Hitchhiker book.

As for Young Zaphod Pays it Safe, Short stories still count.

	"The Restaurant at the End of the Universe" sounds like it could be the name of a Cosmic Jokers album or something.

	Being a Server, you would think that "Restaurant" would be my favorite. However, it is "Life, the Universe, and Everything." Arthur flying, the references to Paul McCartney, all great stuff. The best part is still related to my profession. The Bistromath ship just kills me, because it's true. I definitely have my own way of doing calculations.

	I think Restaurant is the book with the Golgafrincham mythology and that's the only cultural reference point I've ever needed since =P

	The first is the best and the most imaginative. After the Restaurant... he started forcing the ideas a little bit. But they're all worth having. Man is a genious. I'm just reading "Hollistic Agency". Worming up, it is turning to an interesting piece.
