Good book, I won't sell my sexy gilded omnibus no matter how hard /lit/ begs me

Do feel guilty that I couldn't find a version without the eyeless tongue thing, which Adams hated

Is the book actually good? I've only seen the movie with Most Def and it was one of the stupidest things I've ever seen.

Got this as a kid, but it was translated and not funny at all. Surely better in English

I don't think it appears on the UK versions at all- it's some weird quirk of the US market. IIRC it's some extremely minor part of the books

Funny and thought-provoking, but sadly forever doomed to be associated with reddit around these parts.
