] Actually there arefive books in the trilogy!

] Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy
] Restaurant at the End of the Universe
] Live the Universe and Everything
] So Long and Thanks for All the Fish

] and don't forget

] Mostly Harmless

] (I actually did once. I completely forgot that the book existed and re-read it wondering why it seemed vaguely familiar!)

I always forget MH because it's clearly a desperate attempt by Adams to kill off the series & shut up the fans clamoring for a sequel. Architecturally, it's completely unnecessary; all the loose ends get tied up in SLaTfAtF. It's not as much fun as the other 4; that, too, I think is deliberate. Or maybe Adams just ran out of steam; take your pick. But, yeah, it's a trilogy with 5 books, technically (-:
