h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I first read the HHGTTG "trilogy" about five years ago. My husband (boyfriend at that time) owned the entire set. They (the books...get your mind out of the gutter ) looked a little freaky, but the intro sounded interesting...that was the beginning of my affair with Arthur Dent.

Since that time, I have read the trilogy about six times, and I learn something new with each reading. I actually had to save them from being sold in a garage sale (by the well intentioned husband), and a near miss it was. I think my hubby must be jealous as I can only find one of the books at this time, though it is entirely possible that they burned up in the house fire we had last year...sad.

The possible loss of the trilogy troubles me greatly.

Ah, this is your first entry? Welcome! You can always buy new copies, you know - can't have too much Douglas Adams. Have you read any of his other books, like the Dirk Gently series?

Hi there!

No, I haven't read any other Douglas Adams novels...not at this point, anyway.

Yes, I know I can buy new versions of the HHGTTG, but I've been holding off, hoping that I'll find them in one of our many unpacked boxes. We still have too much stuff that hasn't been unpacked...we should probably just throw it all out without looking through it, but that's even harder than packing the boxes in the first place!

Anyway, thanks for replying...I hope to post here quite often, but I'm not sure how I'll do. I currently own/moderate three mailing lists, and am a member of too many others...my email keeps me a little busy!

Have a great day!
