I found out about the book from the computer geek culture. I was looking around many years ago on
www.thinkgeek.com and saw this book. I finally checked it out from the library and have liked it ever sense. The movie was so bad that it was actually hard to stop watching. My favorite characters are Marvin and Authar Dent. I love the dry yet point blank humor and being a car guy I got the Ford Prefect joke.
