Douglas
Adams
Truly, this man is a gifted author. Only once before have I encountered
such brilliance, such whit, such intellect, and that was while looking
in the mirror. (Aren't I modest?) Seriously, though, I love the entire
Hitchhiker series. I never would have imagined that out there in the Universe
there is a planet full of mattresses that go "flollop" and "whump." I never
would have thought of a manic-depressive robot named Marvin.
Here is a list of the books in the Hitchhiker "trilogy." I tried to put
them in order, but I can't quite remember how it goes right now, so this
is just my best guess.
The Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy
Life, the Universe,
and Everything
The Restaurant
at the End of the Universe
So Long, and Thanks
for All the Fish
Young Zaphod Plays
It Safe
Mostly Harmless
He
has written other books, as well, but the only ones I can think of at the
moment are these two:
Dirk Gently's Holistic
Detective Agency
The Long, Dark
Teatime of the Soul
I feel
like I'm missing something, so if you are also a fan of Douglas Adams,
please let me know what (if anything) I left out. My memory isn't quite
what it used to be. Well, actually my memory has never been "what it used
to be." That's just an excuse for me to forget all sorts of important things,
like my girlfriend's birthday, my own birthday, or exactly how many
books there are now in what was intended to be a "trilogy."
I have included some links to other Douglas Adams fan pages, all for your
enjoyment. That's pretty nice of me, isn't it? Especially considering the
fact that we hardly know each other. It's just not right that complete
strangers can go traipsing about through my web pages, never bothering
to tip their hats or say "How do you do?" Well, under the circumstances
I suppose the best thing to do would be to introduce myself, since you
can't very well talk to me. You can follow this link to a page dedicated
to Me!, or you can just go about your business
here and see what else I have dug up about Douglas Adams. It's your choice.
(Me!) No pressure, at all. (Me!)
Really. Go ahead. (Meeeee!)
Alright, have it your way. Here's Douglas Adams.
