I have loved Douglas Adams’ work since the first time I picked up a copy of the Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy.
I am not a real science fiction literary fan , although I do enjoy science fiction films, but there was something about his sense of humour that got me hooked straight away.
I have now experienced HHGG on radio, on the page and on both the small and large screen and it still doesn’t fail to make me laugh. I have read all the books in the Hitchhiker series, the Dirk Gently novels and even the Salmon of Doubt a posthumous book contaning his essays, letters and 11 chapters of a what would most probably have resulted in the next Dirk Gently novel.
Adams had a background in writing for television, notably with the Monty Python team and later in life he became a vocal environmentalist, atheist and lover of the Apple Mac. He died at the age of 49 in 2001.
If you have never read any of his work then pick up a book today, believe me a treat lies in wait for you.
