hey, there is more room for Hitchhiker chat NO ADVERTISING SPAMMER SCUM . Only if you haven't read all of them you may not want to go because the ending is given away.

Rûdhaglarien · 09-02-2002, 02:22 AM

I am about three-quaters of the way done with The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but I plan on reading The Restaurant at the End of the Universe; Life, the Univers, and Everything; So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish; Mostly Harmless; and Young Zaphod plays it safe... my goal for this school year.

Radagast The Brown · 09-16-2002, 03:55 PM

finished the first three books. Very funny. And now, Katt_knome_hobbit, I know why they did that!!!

and you don't have to tell me.

In my school library, the librarian didn't know that there is a serey of the Hithhiker's books!! I was shocked.

***IronParrot*** · 09-21-2002, 02:39 PM

I finally got around to reading "Young Zaphod Plays It Safe". It was pretty funny, but I can see that it was probably hilarious fifteen years ago.

Blackboar · 12-06-2002, 02:29 PM

I've read all of them!
My fav part is when they go to the cafe at the end of th universe!
I've got the books(Including the very last one) in the same book.

Katt_knome_hobbit · 12-17-2002, 02:44 PM

It's the resturaunt at the end of the Universe, and it is a really cool book.

Where are you from?

PS: Love the avitar

Blackboar · 12-21-2002, 08:04 AM

I've posted in at least 3 threads about Douglas Adams!!!!!

TariCalmcacil · 01-12-2003, 05:35 PM

I love the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy!! it's so funny! 42!!

My friend has a site that will generate a random quote from the series... let me see if I can get him to give me the link again. (Some of the quotes are great!!) I've read all five books. Heh. Did anyone read, the long dark teatime of the soul? or something like that. I heard that evidently it was found on Adams computer after his death and someone finished it up for him and then they published it. Thats just what I heard though...

I love the book. It's so funny... I admit, the humor is a bit adult-oriented, if you know what I mean, but it does make you laugh! Douglas Adams forever!!

Katt_knome_hobbit · 01-15-2003, 06:35 PM

I love Teatime! I'm gonna re-read it!!

TariCalmcacil · 01-16-2003, 05:12 PM

Whats tea-time about, all of my friends have said its a good book, but they havent said anything about really.

And, Katt_knome_hobbit is that Voyager on your avatar?

Katt_knome_hobbit · 01-19-2003, 02:04 AM

Teatime is about Dirk Gently, Norse Gods (specifically Thor), a girl, selling your sole to rock and roll (litteraly), an eagle, a sledghammer, and a coke macine.

Strange, init?

NO! It's not voyager! *MRGFLMRGF!* It's the Enterprize from Next Gen.!!!

*Rant rant*

Sorry, I hate voyager. Anoyager rather.

TariCalmcacil · 01-20-2003, 04:57 PM

I see. Well, Teatime sounds interesting. =D I've read all his other books so I can't wait. Hehe.

Sorry, Heh, I'm not too-familar with what each of the Star Trek ships are. Sowee. I like NextGen too. 'S the only ST I ever have time to watch.

I just bought something from Amazon.com and I had totally forgotten that my current billling address is

Ford Prefect
..................

I got a laugh out of that.

Katt_knome_hobbit · 01-23-2003, 02:53 PM

How could your billing address be a name?

Hey that's cool! As long as your billing address is different than the address which they send it to.

Ford is going to be mad at you when he gets the bill.

I'm 13 and I understand it, I'll read stuff off to my parents and they don't get it and I have to explain it to them!

Ornelírë Mistë · 04-02-2003, 05:44 PM

what could you guys tell me about the salmon of doubt or dirk gently's holiistic detective angency?

***IronParrot*** · 04-02-2003, 11:07 PM

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency is a "ghost-horror-detective-whodunit-time-travel-romantic-musical-comedy-epic" according to Douglas Adams, and as someone who's read it, I can't describe it any better than that.

The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul is the Dirk Gently sequel, and is of a similar vein, except it involves Norse mythology.

The Salmon of Doubt consists of various Douglas Adams essays and short stories that were written over the years, as well as excerpts from his never-finished third Dirk Gently novel. I highly recommend it... it was when I read his essays in Salmon that I realized what a true genius the guy was.
