As in "So long and Thanks for all the fish - the 5th book in the increasingly inappropriately-named hitchhikers' guide to the galaxy trilogy"?
Great books. I recently got the DVD of the old BBC tv show - weird; but very cool

i love it. I've got a paperback copy of the first one and the last two, and a hardcover copy of all 5 books in one.
I think my favorite book is number 3, but I can't really decide.

Iv never read it, but I watched the whole BBC series when it was TV some years ago, then saw the DVD about a month ago when my flatmate borrowed it from someone.
VERY cool bit of satire, comedy and Sci Fi all rolled into one, and considering how old it is, its amazing how much is still relevent. Mr Adams is one very smart man.

I watched it many years ago too. I just had to buy the books afterwards, it was both funny to watch and read.

I've read the books, and I'd really like to see the TV series. As I understand it, the TV show came first... and Adams was able to use the TV show to develop all the points in the books. Very funny.
I used to play the Infocom game, too. Anyone remember that? Oh yeah... 42!

I loved the show/movie whatever... Actually, they were showing the whole thing on PBS over the weekend.
Anyways, I tried reading the first book once, but couldn't get into it, may have to give it another try.

Very funny stuff! I read them first when I was in high school, but always seem to come back to them every couple of years for a re-read. Always laugh-out-loud funny.
 Anyone else here play the computer game of Hitch Hiker's Guide to teh Galaxy? I had it on tape for the Commodore 64 - text based game, but funny as hell some of the stuff you had to type in to get through it!

It started out as a BBC Radio show, then the TV series, and about the same time the Books, which are based on both the radio and the TV series.
I'll certianly buy the DVD if I see it anywhere, but the only problem is Iv only ever seen it zoned for the UK, which means it won't play on my DVD player, I had to borrow my parents one last. and R.I.H (rest in hilarity) Douglas Adams.
