Douglas Adams is such a joy to read.
Hitchhikers is one of those bonkers and humorous stories that just gets silly and funnier the longer it goes on.
Arthur Dent is The Normal Guy and not in a Hollywood or Storybook kinda of way. He's far too realistic for that. He is your hapless yet dependable neighbour who brings your rubbish bins in for you; but will comment on the length of your lawn if you neglect to mow it. I adore his attempts to be heroic and then shuck off the praise, only to then grumble that it's not forthcoming. He's so British it hurts.
The plot flows beautifully but also does like to keep you on your toes by veering off in a random direction with a side plot and then bring you right back into the main story.
It's like an RPG or the mind of someone with ADHD.
I loved it.
The story is silly and fun and a must-read.
