- Nick Webb commissioned Douglas Adams to turn his cult radio series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy into a novel. Published in 1979, the book sold 250,000 copies within three months and 1m copies by 1984. Webb had been tipped off by his brother-in-law, who had heard the first episode of the radio series, that "something amazing was squeaking out of his radio on a Wednesday night – so I listened. I was sure that somebody that inventive could write a book."

But not obsessed enough to be able to finish this book.
It is done well enough, for sure, and I respect that.
I just cannot finish this book.
I mean, it might actually be longer then The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe...
