Finally, after years of recommendations, I have read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Vune was right all along: it's fantastically goofy and smart. I still think Douglas Adams doesn't write conversations well, and he bogged himself down a bit in parts, but overall it was a great read. Except perhaps for "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish" -- that one was a bit lame.
Now, to appease the long-suffering Eugene gods, I've picked up Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" series. I finished "The Gunslinger" and I have to say, I'm hooked. I'm a little worried that King bit off more than he can chew, but we'll see how it plays out... "The Drawing of the Three" is on its way as I type this...
So I guess I must acknowledge that all this time, Vune and Chox were right, and I should've taken their advice long ago. Once again, my friends are more well-read than I am.
