My favorite fiction author is Douglas Adams. This anthology of the Hitchhicker's Guide to the galaxy is an excellent addition to the science fiction and humor library. It is one of the few books that cause me to laugh out loud while reading them. One of my regrets in life was a missed opportunity to meet Mr. Adams when he appeared at the U of Minnesota. He died a few years later of a sudden exercise induced heart attack.
Douglas Adams on David Letterman
Big Thinker's Douglass Adams
The book was made into a movie by Walt Disney. The movie's pace was a bit slow. I liked the BBC audio version that played as a serial on Public Radio in the late 1970's.
The book, The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is available from Amazon.com.
