I read the entire HHGTTG series five times through in high school. Love the books, especially the first two (3-5 have good points to them, but the first two are classic), and the big thing I say to new readers is read the first two one after the other as t's one big story and the only reason book one ends where it does is because Douglas Adams was way behind schedule and the publisher just told him to finish where he was at and call it complete!
It started as a radio show (which is also great) and the first book it basically the first 2/3rds of the first series storyline and the second book is an expanded version of the last 3rd with bits of the second series mixed in.
