The first book in this series was the only literature that made me cry tears of amusement. I never thought that was possible.

Every one of these are fron the Hitchhiker's- series

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Nope. The one with Thor is from Dirk Gently's Holistic Dectective Agency. Also written by Douglas Adams.

Thor is at the flying party and is the one who takes Trillian's elbow
