Inspired Lunacy

I don't think there's such a genre as "inspired lunacy" but then there aren't any books quite like these:

Hitchicker series by Douglas Adams (aka HHGTTG)
//1. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
//2. Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
//3. Life, the Universe and Everything
//4. So long, and Thanks for All the Fish
//5. The Salmon of Doubt.

Five Novels - Daniel Pinkwater
