The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

Mostly Harmless Arthur Dent has settled down on the small planet Lamuella and has embraced his role as a Sandwich Maker.

And, in a dramatic break with tradition, actually find it. Convinced that the secret lies within God's Final Message to His Creation, they go in search of it. Fenchurch once realised how the world could be made a good and happy place. It's not an easy thing to do, and Arthur Dent thinks he's the only human who's been able to master this nifty little trick - until he meets Fenchurch, the woman of his dreams. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish There is a knack to flying.

Escaping the end of the world for a second time, Arthur, Ford, and their old friend Slartibartfast embark (reluctantly) on a mission to save the whole galaxy from fanatical robots. An eddy in the space-time continuum lands him, Ford Prefect, and their flying sofa in the middle of the cricket ground at Lord's, just two days before the world is due to be destroyed by the Vogons. However, just as he thinks that things cannot get possibly worse, they suddenly do. Life, the Universe and Everything Following a number of stunning catastrophes, Arthur Dent is surprised to find himself living in a hideously miserable cave on prehistoric Earth. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe When all questions of space, time, matter and the nature of being have been resolved, only one question remains - 'Where shall we have dinner?' The Restaurant at the End of the Universe provides the ultimate gastronomic experience, and for once there is no morning after to worry about. The Galaxy may offer a mind-boggling variety of ways to be blown up and/or insulted, but it's very hard to get a cup of tea. Sadly, however, the weekend has only just begun. For Arthur Dent, who has only just had his house demolished that morning, this seems already to be rather a lot to cope with.
