I've recently read a book written by PC Cast, Goddess of Spring, she writes amazing stories, including the ones she writes with her daughter, The House of Night series.
The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. As in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; Restaurant at the End of the Universe; Life, the Universe, and Everything; So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish; and Mostly Harmless. I hope I got those in the right order. xD
