Das Hauptproblem – eines der Hauptprobleme, denn es gibt mehrere – eines der vielen Hauptprobleme beim Regieren von Leuten ist, von wem man sich das gefallen lässt; oder vielmehr, wer es schafft, die Leute so weit zu kriegen, dass sie sich’s gefallen lassen.
(Douglas Adams - Das Restaurant am Ende der Universums)

My book about Douglas Adams's life has arrived and how nice it is too.

Going to take this slowly rather than rush through, makes me a little sad he's not still around.

The hardback is here! (And I’m in it.) #42 #DouglasAdams I may be some time...

This book is a thing of beauty.

Yay my New Book arrived and it's got my name in it as a Kickstarter campaign supporter 🥰 #42 #douglasadams #HHGTTG

@suswatibasu

Not "modern" but "modern American", please.

When I first read one of Douglas Adams' /Hitchhikers/ books, there was an episode of a party in space where one of the guests was said to be a famous playwright who got an award for the most unjustified use of the word 'Belgium' in a play.

Why 'Belgium'? At the time, I thought it was just one of Adams's characteristic nonsensical nonsenses. 🧵‍>

Got my backer’s ePub version of “42 The Wildly Improbable Ideas of #DouglasAdams”. Roll on the hardback arriving. 🙂 #h2g2

Any time I microwave food, I do it for 0:42 seconds... because I want answers, dammit. And if it means I eat cold food, then so be it.

"47"

Kitty Kaze ran across the keyboard and posted this. Can you #CatsOfMastodon humans ask if your #cats and #kitties decipher this?

I wonder if the felines are posting an update to #DouglasAdams' "42"

"The answer to the Great Question of Life, the Universe & Everything..."

Kevin Jon Davies has edited this @Unbound volume celebrating the great Douglas Adams, full of archive material, letters & more. No Babel Fish required.

42 just arrived in my inbox #douglasadams #42 #hitchhikers https://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/mar/22/douglas-adams-note-to-self-reveals-author-found-writing-torture

Considering that I've always considered #wikipedia the modern-day version of the "Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy," I am bitterly disappointed to find that there's no entry on "What to do if you find yourself stuck in a crack in the ground underneath a giant boulder you can't move, with no hope of rescue."

I just finished the first #WarlockHolmes book. It is a humorous re-imaging of #SherlockHolmes. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The author states that his influences are #TerryPratchett and #DouglasAdams but it never feels as if he trying to mimic their styles.

I stayed up entirely too late putting the finishing touches on this. My Ford Prefect costume is now finished! #h2g2 #HitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy #DouglasAdams
