Okay, so I finished The Hitchhiker's Guide. Is there a point in reading on?

I confess...I haven't read any further.
And actually, I haven't read the Guide. Just heard the radio show. It's on my list, though.
But right now I'm reading Kristin Lavransdatter, which makes LOTR look like light reading...so it'll be awhile.

IMO, the best way to enjoy THHGTTG the first time is in its original form, the radio play series. Adams put it into book form due to popular demand.
I think an American, not throughly immersed in English culture, humor etc. might find the book bizarre, even a bit daft, on first reading.
A side note: I should not write small treatises on literature, culture, humor, opinion, or Adams with such a high level of blood in my coffee stream :D
