I'm sure there are many on this board who can back me up on this - Scott Hajek, for one.I've been meaning to do that. Who wrote it? It seems to have a cult-like following. Those kinds of things intrigue me-sometimes. Star-Trek certainly has a cult following and that does not intrigue me! Anyway, I'll keep my eye out for the book!

jimbow8 Wrote:Douglas Adams also wrote Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul, which are quite good and have the same type of humor.
Dave Wrote:I prefered Dirk Gently. HHGG was okay, but I got a bit bored by the end of the book, ended up not bothering to read the last twenty pages (only other book I did that with was LOTR:Fellowship).:eek: Blasphemer!!! The end of Fellowship is great. If anything, I skip the Birthday Party at the beginning. I don't remember specifically the end of HHGG. Are you referring to that first book or the series as a whole?

jimbow8 Wrote::eek: Blasphemer!!! The end of Fellowship is great. If anything, I skip the Birthday Party at the beginning.What can I say? Frodo wandered off away from the group, started whinging and feeling depressed with the burdon of the ring, again (about the hundredth time). I put the book down and never felt compelled to pick it up again. Imagine my surprise when I saw the end of the film (which I think also started dragging when Frodo wandered off at that point), and lo and behold some good shit happened.

This was a long time ago so I don't remember exactly why, because some parts of the book I found hilarious, but I put it down with about twenty pages to go and just never bothered picking it up again.
