I have a theory that HHG appeals to many with marginal self-esteem who associate, to a greater or lesser extent, with Arthur Dent. If you have an ego the size of a planet, then maybe HHG is not for you.
Not having met many egomaniacs, I can't offer any evidence to back up my speculation.
Other than the self-esteem thing, I really had little in common with Arthur when I first met him in my late teens, other than a liking for tea.
This did not stop me basing my degree thesis on HHG, from a literary criticism angle. What a bunch of twaddle that was! I also created the first radio episode of the tertiary phase with the help of a few friends and a multi-track tape deck long before the Beeb got around to it.
