Thanks Charles. I listened to the 1st episode. Man, if you are not used to the way how the english speak, it is a hard time to understand at first. But after a while I got used to it.

This is narrated in a Galactic dialect of English, and is rather surreal - even we native Enlish speakers have to listen closely. :)

ok, now that makes more sence. :)
Thanks Charles. The brilliance and sense of humor of Douglas Adams obviously influenced heavily much of what I have seen and enjoyed. It is funny I came to Hitchhiker's so late in life, late 30's.
From Monty Python to the Old Doctor Who series and then Red Dwarf, I was exposed to his type of humor without even realizing it. Of all things I had 2 friends who were Marine Biologists and they introduced me to Hitchhiker's guide when they saw how much I loved Science Fiction. As I read, I realized I discovered the source of all that ever entertained me in the last 40 years.
His works made me realize that there is no such thing as ever thinking too much out of the box. That one should pull as far away from something as much as they should look at in detail. The scale of his imagination is just inspirational to say the least. I hope this audio series carries on!
