The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy
roadkillnecrophiliac:
Hah, I love HG2G. Read it all a thousand times, and saw the BBC series when I was little (littl-er). I was so disappointed when I saw the movie.
Now when I talk about the books, everyone here associates it with the movie (I've never ever ever seen an actual Dutch translation, although I know they exist. It's just not that popular here). :-(
Omnicontemplation:
Terry Pratchett is a cool dude, and Douglas Adams... is a legend, if you ask me... I loved the
five books, and the little story following those. The Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul is
what I seem to remember being my favorite, but it's been a bit of time and a lot of books
since I read it and it's fellows.
If you like these two wonderfully comic fellows, and haven't picked up Good Omens...
You ought to. It's a joint work between Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, the latter of which
I've been proud to call my favorite author for some time, though he's been much contested
by other things I've been getting into.
Basically it's the general armageddon story, with some subtle and not-so-subtle twists... the most
pronounced of these being that the antichrist ends up being raised by a good family rather than
his intended parents, and grows up as a nice kid.
It's tame for Mr. Gaiman and what you'd generally expect of Terry Prachett, so... an awesome
book, on the whole. My trite little synopsis can't really do it justice, so you'll have to look into it
on your own.

I have only read the original book, but I liked it so much I adopted one of the phrases as my signature ;)

PS - I just read on here that there is a "towel day" - When is this day, if anyone knows?

First read the books back when I was in junior high. I didn't really care for the the last one but it's still a fantastic series. I think they were my introduction to British humor. :lol:
