I read this book in high school without knowing anything about it. It blew me away but, for some weird reason, until I hit adulthood, I couldn't find anyone else that had read it.
Catch-22 is also a very good, funny book that says a lot about life. Sadly, my copy of both Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Catch-22 seem to have gotten lost in one of our many moves. Maybe I need to buy myself a present.
