Agreed. The movie was horrible. I think the problem is that most of Adams' humor comes from playing with words, and that doesn't translate well into a visual medium.
"How many escape pods does this ship have?"
"None!"
"Did you count them?"
"Twice!"

I've been reading the 12 book series by David & Leigh Eddings - it's great, because it reads itself in a circle so you can just go from the last book right back into the first one again LOL
The Belgariad
Pawn of Prophecy, Queen of Sorcery, Magician's Gambit, Castle of Wizardry, Enchanters' End Game
The Malloreon
Guardians of the West, King of the Murgos, Demon Lord of Karanda, Sorceress of Darshiva, The Seeress of Kell
Belgarath the Sorcerer
Polgara the Sorceress
All very awesome books and a great story all together ^..^

The two Sparhawk series by Eddings was even better!

Umm. This is the Holodeck R&R. A place for absolutely nothing,and everything. This is for total randomness and/or general chat.
And,What is your favorite book?
I, regretfully, haven't been able to read any of those.
However, and I just heard about this, I like Stephen Gould's Jumper, which is going to be made into a movie.
I remember when I read it in the sixth grade--I'm graduated, but--and I found solace in the book. I just don't have it now.

On a Pale Horse by P. Anthony is one of my top five for sure. All about death (the myth/person)
