It seems I'm not the only one who made this connection. I find myself attracted to my Kindle for that very reason. (Not because I find my self lost and drunk, it just makes me feel like I have my own copy of The Guide.)
I'm currently reading "And Another Thing," the 6th part of the trilogy, by Eoin Colfer. He has Adams' style down. So far I think I like this book better than the last couple Adams books.
