Which of the Hitchhiker's series are worth reading? I got a big omnibus edition with all of them for super cheap.

You could probably knock each one out in a day, so just read all of them. They're super easy. Not like it's fucking GR or something (yes, I'm a pseud because I found GR challenging).

first three ones
the last two kinda feel like the author was getting tired of writing the series

They get progressively worse, and the last two are absolute trash-tier. I would only read the first, and if you REALLY, REALLY like it read the second, but don't bother with the entire series. If I recall correctly, Douglas Adams was forced to write the later books, and it's clear he didn't get any enjoyment from doing so from the quality of the work. If you want to know how the series concludes or whatever, just read the summary of the books on wiki.
