From archive (archive) Subject: Author Lists: Douglas Adams From: JWenn.ESAE@XEROX.COM Date: 14 Dec 89 08:17:34 GMT Douglas Adams is the other really funny person in SF writing today (I did Terry Pratchett last batch). Most of this fame rests on "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series. This is a true multimedia event, having been done as Radio Drama, TV, Books, Records, Pop Songs, a Stage Play, and discussion of a movie (sorry, no comic books as far as I know). My personal favorite is still the original 12 episode radio drama. Give it a listen (NOT the reading of the books). For people who buy thw omnibus edition (I've seen for $9.95 in bookstores), there's a extra bonus story "Young Zaphod Plays It Safe". He's alos written a couple of Dr. Who episodes, and the fairly good Dirk Gently books. [NSF] == Not SF [O] == Omnibus.
