I love this series. I think I preferred The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul, but I can't remember why as I last read these in my teens.

Did you like the new HGTTG movie? I didn't the first time, but it grew on me when I gave it a second go.

Part of it is that I really didn't like the character of Dirk Gently, even though I LOVE Douglas Adams' humor. I'm still going to read the Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul though. :) It's in my pile.

I feel the same as you about the HGTTG movie. It definitely grows on me. I love love love that whole series of books.
