Re: fun facts
I'm the same way with the Dune series, English and German books and the Audible series in German.
I loved THHGTTG when I was growing up. I had the radio plays on cassette and listened to them on the bus every day going to college. I bought some anniversary version of the book (all parts in one bound edition). I also have the first part in German.
The TV series was okay, but the film was a real disaster, and I'm not talking about Disaster Area here.
I even had the Infocom adventure game for my Amstrad.
