I agree about Hitchhiker's guide. I've read the first book and at one point it even makes jokes about its deus ex machina.
Despite it being very funny, it doesn't drive me to read the other four books because it doesn't have any overarching story. Just a series of vaguely connected events that are quickly resolved.
