I remember that, now. It has been 3+ years since I read HitchHiker. I tried to re read it the other day, but found his style to be quite annoying this time around and quit. The last time I thought he was a very enthrawling, creative story teller.
I can read Hitchhikers, Restaurant, and So Long over and over. But for some reason I never really have liked Life, Universe, etc. even though that is where they learn to fly.
It does get a bit stale after many exposures. I'm ready for a new vision.
I'm afraid I have tapes made off the air from the original radio play (taped twice), commercial tapes of the radio play, DVDs of the TV version, paperback copies of all the books (several copies of some) and a leatherbound copy of the complete five book trilogy.
I haven't read any of them in more than five years. But they are a part of my mind.
