You could add him.
Seems a bit of a cheat to have all of the Hitchikers Guide books individually as well as in The Complete.
This list has way too many books that don't belong here. List creator needs to make many deletions.

Yes, there are many books here that aren't funny at all nor are they meant to be. I think some people just vote for books they like and ignore what the list is about.
