There was simply a very small notice about in one of the Swedish newspapers that The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was now on the Internet. I was absolutely thrilled, because I *love* the books!smiley - bigeyes

How I came to discover the books is a different story though - references to THHGTTG (or actually 'Liftarens Guide till Galaxen' in Swedish) starting popping up, in other books, in RL conversations, in an interview on the radio - and I was mystified (managing to miss the bit where it was explained). Come on - surely there couldn't be a Galactic Travel Guide? Because that's what it sounded like to me...

Then, one day, I came across it in a bookstore, and I just couldn't resist buying it, despite having no idea what the book was about, and knowing nothing about the author. But how I laughed when I read it!smiley - biggrin
