replied on: 8/24/2005 10:27:17 AM Yeah, I enjoyed the Dirk Gently-holistic detective agency book and am going to read Histhikers guide to the galaxy. (by the way, the release date for Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy DVD/video is 5th September 2005) Did you know that Douglas Adams was one of the first people to buy an apple mac, and that in fact, he bought quite a few of them, storing something like one story on each apple mac. strange, eh?

replied on: 9/14/2005 11:38:55 AM he has, he has also re-written quite a few of his works for alternative mediums. the hitchhikers guide started off as a radio program, then progressed to print (where it became perfect imho) it then moved to television and now, the latest incarnation of the film. |
