Alpha Squad, actually. I’d like to read that too- it sounds like the awfulness would be very very funny.
Can I choose a song? I’d like to hear the songs the Krikkiters sing in one Life, the Universe and Everything. Adams writes that following of the first of these fictional tunes
Two supposedly better ones follow. He writes of the fourt hand last song…
I’ve been listening to the White Album lately, does it show?
Damn, you took mine! I’d also want to hear the version Calvin’s father tells him when he’s sick of telling it (“Do you think they’ll ever find Hamster Huey’s head?”)
Oh, you have got to be kidding, sir.
I always wanted to read that too. We didn’t find out too much about what actually happened in that book…except for the ‘abridged’ version Calvin’s dad read one night, after which Calvin (I think) wondered if the townsfolk would ever find Hamster Huey’s head. Heh. 
And apparently I didn’t notice the post immediately before mine saying the exact same thing. D’oh! :smack:
I would like to nitpick the OP: “fictitious” means false or intending to deceive; “fictional” means occurring in a work of fiction. 123 Fake Street is a fictitious address; 221b Baker Street is a fictional one.
Any of those books on the shelves during the opening credits of Blackadder III.
From Black Death to Black Adder, Encyclopaedia Blackaddica, et.
The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide To The Galaxy (Tertiary Phase) Radio Show has one of the Krikkit songs on it- it is indeed very McCartney-esque.
The Fictional Books I’d like to read:
*The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide To The Galaxy
The Encylopaedia Galactica
Oolon Colluphid’s Trilogy of Philosophical Blockbusters
The Book Of Armaments
The Complete Datalinks from Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri
The Blackadder Library
The Space Corps Directives Manual*
My Brother! 
I recall a collection of Kryptonian Fairy Tales…also, the Nemedian Chronicles.
Which reminds me…how about the contents of Dr. Watson’s tin dispatch box, containing all the unpublished cases?
Personally, I’d go for ‘The wizard’s manual’, from the Diane Duane books.
Though… I wonder how much of it you can actually read and understand without taking the Oath. That’s kind of a kicker. I’m not sure I want to be obligated to lay down my life to preserve the jungles of Rierhath B, or whatever.
[sub]And, of course, I’m too old to become a Wizard now, anyway.

Hmmmm…I thought it the hight of Sci-Fi writing when I was twelve, but that may be because it had both spaceships AND sex robots.
Yes! YES! How could I have forgotten? :smack:
June Thomson has written a great series of pastiches drawing from that long-lost dispatch box, gathering dust in the vaults of Cox & Co. Check 'em out - you’ll be glad you did.
Dawns and Departures - Harry Flashman
plus the rest of his unpublished memoirs. I want to know what he did in the Civil War, dammit!
Sadly, it was lost to history when all copies were destroyed at the printers at Benjamin Disraeli’s behest, presumably on the grounds of libel: a real shame, Sir Harry’s expurgated and sanitised autobiography would have been a hoot.
The Book of Skulls. Although on second thought, the book itself doesn’t do you much good without the Brotherhood to actually train you. Still might be a fascinating read though.
I just thought of another: The Diaries of Korval. Of course, first I’d have to learn to read Liaden, and then I’d probably have to marry into the clan to get a look at them.
I really should find those things. I doubt they’ll ever make a movie of Life…, but I always imagined that if they did, that voice in the back of the crowd would be revealed as Sir Paul in a super-brief cameo.
The Book of Vile Darkness and Book of Exalted Deeds from D&D - the actual tomes, from the game worlds, not the rule suppliments carrying the names.
Audible.com listing for the tertiary phase. They also have the 4th and 5th radio phases.
Personally, I felt a little disappointed by the krikkiter songs in Tertiary, probably because I had expectations too high… after all, they’d been set up as Uber-McCartney, songs that were several times better than anything he’d ever written. What we got was ‘vaguely pleasant Beatles-like music’ 
Doh… stupid audible website, doesn’t seem to want to let me direct-link. But you can go to http://www.audible.com and search by keyword ‘tertiary’
