The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

Arthur Dent wakes up with a hangover and looks out to see several bulldozers posed to demolish his house.  He lays down in front of the bulldozers to stop them, when his friend, Ford Prefect, comes to take him to the pub.  Unknown to Arthur, Ford is an alien, an author who has been writing The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.  He has been on Earth for several years to include a chapter in his book, but it now is unnecessary because the Earth is going to be demolished in a few minutes.   Ford saves Arthur, and together they go across the galaxy in Ford's spaceship. This hilarious, classic book also contains the answer to the question "What is the meaning of life?"
