Reading HHGttG, I’d agree. I think it’s best as an audio experience; the TV and film were spoilt for me as I found myself speaking the dialogue a beat before the soundtrack.

I liked Good Omens, but I didn’t care much for much of Discworld - but it’s probably because I don’t find slapstick funny. I preferred the City Watch and Unseen University to the rest.

Gaiman I enjoy, but he can be a bit hit-or-miss.
