Don't Panic!
I’ll be the first to admit I’m not a big reader. I’ll read a magazine or a newspaper from cover to cover, but give me a book and I just can’t stick with it.
Few authors have made me pick up their book with enthusiasm to keep turning the pages, let alone get to the end and go back to the beginning to read it again. One of those authors is Douglas Adams.
Maybe it is because I had watched the BBC Television series of ‘Hitchhikers’ before reading the book that gave me the interest, maybe it was the enticing book cover?
Maybe it was knowing the idea for the title The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy occurred to him while he lay drunk in a field, that raised my interest in reading his words.

Here’s a little clip of Towel Day:
