        Six if you count Mostly Harmless.

        I think you mean six if you count 'And Another Thing … ’

        ‘Mostly Harmless’ was the 5th book.

          1. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
          2. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
          3. Life, the Universe and Everything
          4. So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
          5. Young Zaphod Plays it Safe
          6. Mostly Harmless

          This is according to The Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide from 1996. I will certainly be checking out And Another Thing.

          ~So I guess there are seven books to the trilogy.~

          Edit: Ooooh, that explains it. And Another Thing wasn’t written by Adams. No wonder I never heard of it.

            Young Zaphod Plays it Safe is just a short story.

              Yeah, that’s the one I wasn’t counting as a book, but from that list I can see why some would count it.

            ‘And Another Thing…’ was fun, and I feel it belongs on the shelf right next to the others. I hope you give it a shot, and also enjoy it.

        I’d recommend Dresden Files series if you want something with a wizard in it.

            While you’re at it, if you haven’t done so check out any of the Discworld books by Terry Pratchet. Very good reads.

      There’s also atlas shrugged.

      It’s like the sorting hat for terrible people.

        Oh good one but that’s a trick question, because nobody has actually read it in full.
