I will not be much help Nyssa. I have not read any of the books on your list except Hitchhicker's. I tried it because friends of mine absolutely raved about it. I didn't get it either and did not find it enjoyable.

I guess AlbertaCowboy and myself are the exceptions to the rule...or at least the only ones willing to admit it.
