The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy

I love the 5th book just because of the level of detail describing the making of sandwiches in it.

Asside from any other issues I have with the fifth book, that part really, from where it starts to when they leave "The Land of the King" is one of my favorite parts of the series.

Damn, there goes my username.
I've only read the first and second of the trilogy so far (not from lack of interest, but rather a sad lack of time to do so), but yeah I pretty obviously was in love from day one. I had mixed feelings about the movie, though - it was quirky and entertaining on its own, but I had to keep putting the books out of my mind in order to enjoy it, which isn't, you know, something the audience should have to be doing during a film adaptation of a book.
elysium:
I would agree with that...if you take the movie alone and pretend that it is simply a movie and is not supposed to have anything to do with the series, it wasn't awful. The problem is that the books focused on the minute (as was said before about the detail of making sandwiches), but movies simply don't do that. They go in for big action and explosions etc., which is not what was most important in the books.
Overall though, regardless of age, I feel the series is worth reading. But I may be biased, I once dumped someone for hating the books (and all books in general)...

I just wanted to say that this thread is basically the entire reason Malorie is my girlfriend now. Arguing that leads to love rocks!
Oh, but on topic: the radio series is so easily the best version of it.
