"The Restaurant at the End of the Universe" by Douglas Adams

I love reading Adams, in fact, so much that it looks like I've read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy at least five times. Funny thing, though, I was going to write a review of the first book of the series when it struck me: I must've read it before! And behold: indeed, almost exactly a year before, I did write a review in this exact blog.

Welp, it was time to read on! The second book is a bit more disturbing for its lack of action cohesion: characters fly in and out of action, teleport a lot, and not just in space but in time, too. But who reads Adams for the plot, am I right? All in all, the main ideas of the book are fun:

• A cow that wants to be eaten (which disgusts Arthur, lol)
• Zaphod lobotomizing himself and etching his initials on his brain
• Living inside a computer simulation
• Of course, a time-defying restaurant at the end of the universe
• A rock-band that flies props into stars
• Telepathy as a curse
• Finally, the pencil-pusher Arc B story
• Earth people descending from pencil-pushers
• Probably (likely?) wrong answers to the main question

All in all, a solid sci-fi sequel for a nonsensical novel in the 80s!
