One of my favourite scenes is the one where Arthur asks the name of the old Magrathean and he responded that its not important. Later Arthur asks again and answers "Slartibartfast" and Arthur laughs and Salartibartfast says "I told you that its not important."

I've also read the Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency series (incredibly hilarious, too). Have you read "The Long, Dark Teatime Of The Soul" yet? I was screaming with laughter on the first page. Unfortunately, I was also on line at the supermarket (they had the book in a rack near the checkout) and kept expecting the guys with the white jackets and butterfly nets to show up and cart me off.
