You've never heard of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy?

The Salt Lake City Library has several quotes from legendary authors on the walls. The one from Douglas Adams reads "I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by."

I have heard of that. I've never read any of it though.

And Doctor Who just isn't my thing. :know:

It's okay. It's all a matter of taste. You can't help it if you don't have any. :O:

I'm gonna watch part 4 of The Highlanders. :rock:

Is it good? Let me start by saying I don't do fiction (too much happens in real life), nor do I do space stories, weird creatures, or alien languages. But the whole Hitchikers series had me hooked - one after the other. Fantastic series, get them all, get them soon.
Don't watch any of the attempts of film, the latest was probably the best but still missed out a squillion and one things. The radio series was better but as usual nothing beats the written word.

I enjoyed the movie, but didn't know the background story of the whole thing. I'll have to check out the series. :hmmm:

If you mean the books, they are better than anything.

If you mean the TV miniseries, I thought it was much better than the movie, but I liked the movie as well.
