Douglas Adams is one of those interesting science fiction writers I've only recently come to know. Despite listening to a few episodes of the radio series and watching some of the 1980s TV series, Adams and his approach to science fiction comedy was mostly unknown. However, after reading the first in the trilogy of five novels and nearly done with the second book, one can see his appeal. Adams is a master of absurd and, to me at least, deliberately somewhat poor writing for the absurdist universe he crafted. The second novel, Restaurant At the End of the Universe, excels with its existential and time travel humor. Highly recommend.
