Any Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy fans (or should I say Hoopy Froods?) out there pondering the Life, Universe and everything?
Saw the movie, never read the book. Heard good things though.
In my opinion the film is a poor imitation of the original books, radio and tv series. I highly recommend you seek them out
Oh yes! I always bring a towel with me anywhere I go!

Yeah man, the original books is where the experience for this is at. Now I realize most of us book folks are like well the book is better, but even the TV series and radio show was a much better representation of what it was all about. Man, I wish I could mind wipe myself to be able to exp. this all over again.
I envy you!
I love the Hitchhiker’s Guide. All 4 books. Listening to them via Audible is so easy. If you have a long car trip, I definitely recommend them. The movie was good but barely scratched the surface. I plan on buying a Hitchhiker’s shirt soon. DON’T PANIC!!
Who’s your favourite Hitchhiker character? Mines Marvin the Paranoid Android, voiced by Stephen Moore. Much to my shame, I only found out today that Warwick Davies did the film version, and Alan Rickman did the voice for the radio series!
+1 to this post! My favorite too!
I am a fan of the longest trilogy in the world.
And yay, somethings don’t do good on film. Hence why I like reading the original novel (or adaption). It gives insight other media types cannot provide.
BTW: I also like how someone created a youtube where the HHGTTG did an entry on the Daleks.
Pure hilarious.
I love the Hitchhikers to the Galaxy. I’ve read all the books and some of his other books too. I have the original series and the movie. One of my favorite all-time books.
I could never get into Dirk Gently Holstic Detective Agency, and I haven’t read Salmon of Doubt, which is work taken off his computer after his death. Last Chance to See, a book about endangered species is good though
I have read those. Starship Titanic is another I have read. It was a decent storyline. Non compared to the Hitchhiker series.
If you can get hold of it, there is a graphic novel version of the first Hitchhikers, which I recommend. I can’t remember the details off hand, but a search on the web should point you in the right direction
I will have to look for it. Thank you.
