JB Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Wait a minute, Lowzeewee,...you do know The Restaurant at the End of the Universe but you don't knowthe other books? :O :OGo and read "The Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy" now! :) It is the first book of the series, and, together with "The Restaurant...", follows the original radio play from which it was adapted. Later there were three more books: "Life, the Universe, and Everything", "So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish" and finally "Mostly Harmless".If you can get it, listen the radio plays are on CD, these are really the purest form of the series, imho even better than the books; altough i think the books are more detailed and some people prefer them over the audio version. (and there are more books). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollyon Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 The story in the books is totally different to that of the radio series (or at least drastically). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 The radio broadcasts came first. The books are an adaption of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_fox Posted November 29, 2003 Author Share Posted November 29, 2003 Good! More Douglas Adams fans! (He died recently :'(.)I've seen a two-part miniseries based on the first two books (The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy and The Restaurant at the End of the Universe); it stunk, though."What's so unpleasant about being drunk?""You ask a glass of water." ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
