I am a huge Douglas Adams fan! I have most, if not all of his books. Actually I recently went on a buying spree and picked up a few copies of signed hardcover editions on Ebay. I think I've read pretty much everything he's written. I was very happy to see the movie finally come to fruition last year and honestly they did a good job with it.

I like Dirk Gently

I read THHG2TG years back & loved it, but somehow I never got round to reading the rest of the series. I really should thouhg, as I loved it. I'm also a mega fan of the radio plays & the TV series. I was a bit miffed with the recent film though.

I've read all the Hitchhiker's series and the first two Dirk Gently books. I also have The Salmon of Doubt, but haven't read it yet. Oh, and I've got Douglas Adams' Starship Titanic book which was actually written by Terry Jones!

and me but then he did have a lot to do with the making so had to forgive it!

I have the Starship Titanic computer game and it's hilarious. Oh yeah and don't worry those books are put away nice and safe.

I've read all the Hitchhikers books, but many years ago, so they're vastly overdue a re-read. I did enjoy the Dirk Gently books too, but haven't been able to get into The Salmon of Doubt for some reason.

Salmon of Doubt is fragmented in its very nature. Its really for fanatics although the Dirk Gently extract is worth the purchase on its own. I have read Hitchhikers Guide (all four are superb, Mostly Harmless is pants). The whole Dirk Gently series which is enjoyable but hard to get into and The Deeper Meaning of Liff which is an amusing diversion but nothing more.

Hitchhikers Guide is a classic the rest of his stuff is a nice way to spend an afternoon but nothing more.

I've grown up with Douglas Adams. My dad actually recorded the radio series of H2G2 when it was first on, and it was played repeatedly in the car on long journeys!

In fact my dad and brother were members of the Fan Club for a very long time - it was imperative that we knew where our towels were!!!

I've read all the Hitch-hikers books a few times, and the Dirk Gently ones twice. I keep fancying a re-read of Hitch-hikers recently as well. Maybe I will get them on audio to listen in the car.

I loved the idea in the Dirk Gently books about following a random car when you are lost, with the logic that it will get you to wear you need to be, even if there somewhere is different to where you though - I have actually tried it, and I have had a pretty high success rate!

I read the 'Hitch-hikers' books a long time ago (age 13ish) and I remember really enjoying them - I'm a bit too young to remember the TV series though!

I recently read 'Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency' and found it entertaining and confusing - I think they're the type of books you cxan read over and over and notice new stuff and never make sense of it! Very enjoyable though! (I use too many exclamation marks don't I!!!!!!!!!)
