I like the comparison of The Hitchhiker's Guide to Wikipedia and ereaders. Makes me want a Don't Panic logo on my Kindle cover.

I read Hitchhiker's guide and the next 2 books way back in the 80's. Also loved to play the Infocom game based on the book. Ahhhh...back in the day of text based games. You can download it from various places on the web. For those of you who don't remember text based games I highly suggest you check it out. Spent many, many hours playing those games. Yes, I am a nerd

I need to reread the books since it has been so long since my original read. I do remember the answer is 42. Also, I remember some about the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

I have never heard the radio show nor seen the movie. Now if I can just get my 19 year old son to read the books. Of course he thinks anything mom thinks is funny must be lame.
