That's too bad, because the audio dramas of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is some of the funniest stuff ever recorded, and are my personal favorite version of the stories (and before you ask, the radio dramas actually came first, even before the books).

Still, not for everyone, I suppose.

Very true! For anyone who is a fan of quirky humor, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is definitely worth tracking down.

The fairly recent HhGttG movie was rather unfortunate, introduced millions of newcomers to the series, then turned them off of it for good.

As Nanner said, the first two phases (think seasons) of the radio series came first. Then they were both adapted into a book, and about everyother form of media you can think of (TV series, comics, a video game, towels, etc.). Three other books were written in the series, and just a few years ago they each received a radio adaption, which, while not near as good as the originals, are pretty cool. They too are worth a little effort to get you hands on.

Also, for anyone who doesn't mind archaic videogames, the H2G2 text-based video game from the early nineteen eighties is a lot of fun. It takes a little bit of effort to get into, especially if you didn't grow up with pure text adventure games, but it really is a lot of fun, and was written by Douglas Adams himself. I bet you'd like it Nanner. It is easy to find on the net these days, and if you have troubel getting into it, you can always use a walk through to get you through the first few screens to get a feel for the game. Though it is very rewarding to figure out the puzzles on your own.
