Adams is best known as the author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, which originated in 1978 as a BBC radio comedy before developing into a “trilogy” of five books that sold more than 15 million copies in his lifetime and generated a television series, several stage plays, comics, a computer game, and in 2005 a feature film. Adams’s contribution to UK radio is commemorated in The Radio Academy‘s Hall of Fame.[1]

I was sold on HHG to the G with a tape of the BBC series. It was brilliant.
The vast admiration Douglas Adams showed for the human species is shared by me.

Ja ek wonder of dit die problem met litnetters is? Jy sal maar moet blog daaroor? Want om aanhoudend email te kry dat iemand blog maak net jou inbox vol. Dis so gerieflik met reader. xxx
