Just started reading this book a couple days ago, and I'm really impressed with it.
Picked all 4 of them up at a yard sale a while ago, just got around to starting them. Can't imagine they'll take very long with biggish print and only 200 pages.

If anyone's been remotely thinking about reading the series, I highly suggest it xD

Anyone else read them?

Heard the movie is funny so I can imagine the books being better (as that's the case mostly). Worth watching it/reading?

Yes.
I saw the movie a while ago and really enjoyed it.
This is the first time I've ever read a book that was specifically comedy. It's kind of weird in that the writing isn't quite standard. It's kind of stream-of-conscious and uses a lot of nonsense words.
The book very much reminds me of Monty Python, if you enjoy their movies/skits.

Alright that sounds kinda fun actually. I really enjoyed the Mnty Python - Search for the Holy Grail movie ^^

The movie was enjoyable, but it's hard t translate that good of a book from print to screen.

I recommend the rest of his books as well.

Dirk Gently's Detective Agency

Long, Dark Tea Time of the Soul

Possibly another I'm forgettting..

This book is amazing ;>

I did not really liked the movie tho
