HI Brian. I am a big Douglas Adams fan. Adams wrote the Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy series of books. The book is written about an electronic book, called The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy. On the cover of the book are emblazoned the words DON'T PANIC! My favourite character in the book is a guy called Zaphod Beeblebrox. He happens to be the galactic president nad has two heads. The hero of the story (who spends his entire time in pajamas, slippers and a dressing gown) is called Arthur Dent. He meets up with an alien, who decided that a good Earth name would be ford Prefect. He goes by that name. Here are the opening words from the first book (from memory): "Far out in the unchartered backwords of the Eastern spiral arm of the galaxy, lies a small, unregarded yellow Sun. Circling this at a distance of approximately 93 million Miles, is a planet, whose ape-descended life-forms are so amazingly primitive, that they still think digital watches are a neat idea."
