After seeing the movie last year, I re-read Douglas Adams’ The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy last weekend during a plane flight. My copy is a 1979 paperback, when it was Hitch Hiker’s (two words) instead of Hitchhiker. It’s a slim 159 pages…loomed larger in memory, honestly, although brevity is a benefit.
After the re-read, I am more impressed with the movie’s fidelity to the book.
42!
