As a massive Heinlein fan I’ll say Starship Troopers because I think that’s a fascinating discussion about what you owe your country or the price of citizenship. Since Heinlein is my favorite author I’ll pick another one as well.. A Scanner Darkly by Philip K Dick. I know he had drug issues and this book is an interesting look at the cycle of drugs and addiction and the ending was tragic but also very realistic. I like that the movie included his tribute at the end.

The Restaurant at the end of the Universe by Douglas Adams, for the sole reason that it's the only Sci-Fi book that survived various purges of my bookshelf. That's got to count for something. Although it's been so long that I've read it that I don't remember what the plot was.
That's kept a special spot on my shelf too. Was so mad at myself for not getting the gilded special edition for cheap way back when, cause my version is falling apart.
I’ve read the Hitchhikers Guide books and only remember the first one really. I do plan a re-read some day. My favorite part of that series was the Vogons telling Earth that the plans had been in their local office in Alpha Centauri. I really hope they don’t do any reboots with it
You should see the episodes of Doctor who when Adams was in charge.
The Creature from the Pit (Story 106) was the one of the best, it had Douglas Adams as the script editor. Adams humor really shines through in the dialog and premise.
I loved the pirate planet.
Which doctor the 7th?
4th
