RIP Mr. Adams. Sad news indeed.

I may have been an even bigger fan of his books after Hitchhiker's. Ragged copies of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency & The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul have been next to my omnibus HitchHiker's volume for years.

Heard an interview where he said that the bus station incident with the pack of biscuits (from So long & thanks) actually happenned to him. Those that have read it will know what I'm talking about. Hilarious stuff  

He will be missed

I'll guess he had found THE question to the answer.

Loved all his books.  Anyone ever read "Last Chance To See"?  His blurb on the jacket read that he travelled the world looking for endangered animals so he could poke fun at them.

Gonna miss that kind of humour.

Wasn't going to post anymore in here, but must make an exception for Douglas Adams.  Loved his books, reading all the HGttG books.  A very unique wit that could have me laughing out of the clear blue.  He will be missed
