I was very saddened to hear tonight of the passing of one of my favorite writers, Douglas Adams.
A sad lost, my thoughts are with Douglas' family.

Wa, Thats blowing my mind.

He wrote some great stuff.

I used to read it out loud to friends cause every line was so good, that I couldn't just read the good ones.

Wow... Hithikers Guide to the Galaxy was one of the first pieces of science fiction I ever read... to think there will never be any more stories of Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, and Zaphod Beeblebrox... A sad day indeed. On the plus side... perhaps there will be no more Vogon poetry either...

Yeah, I was also very supprised and saddend, I saw the TV series of Hithikers Guide, then read all the books afterwards, in this case I take my hat off to the TV producers because it was literaly identical to the books, very very funny and great reading, boy would I love to see that Total Improbability Drive in action one more time
