Do you happen to have a version without the quote referencing "God"? I really like it, but don't really want something to do with religion or anti-religion...

Sure, but you do know that the quote is from Douglas Adams, Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy? It's a super book and well worth the read (or listen if you have the bbc radio broadcasts)

You should be able to grab the other version of this from my gallery.

I found the other version - thanks!

Also, I must fully support anything Hitch Hiker's Guide. I've only gotten to read bits and pieces of the book, but I adore what I have read and it is definitely on my extremely long list of things to read. And I had NO IDEA there was a BBC broadcast of it and I just might have to go find that...

Yep, Hick Hikers was original a BBC radio broadcast, then a book, then another radio broadcast, then another book, then a tv serise, then 3 more books, then a film, then 3 more radio broadcasts finally a few years back.

I don't think the evolution on the medium was ever planned out this way, but purists would claim the radio series to be definitive version.

Huh, I had no idea. In that case, I'll put the radio series above the book on my list. When were the first broadcasts?

Oh way back, 1980s I think. The date is probably on the wikipedia page. BBC Radio is what you're looking for. and because it was a radio series first, it's not a book reading and it's not a dramatisation. It's got voice actors, sound effects and everything.

hey, random question: I have now listened to (and loved!) the Primary and Secondary Phases, and started listening to the Tertiary Phase, but don't know if I should read read Life, The Universe... --> Mostly Harmless first, since the last three radio broadcasts weren't done by Adams.

Since you seem to know a bit about it, do you have a recommendation?

The last three were produced after his death, but all were written by Adams. And since Adams didn't produce any of the radio shows (he's not a producer) they all have the same good quality.

I recommend you listen to the radio versions. All of them. Especially when it comes to the firth book, which has a better ending.

YAY! Man, I love radio plays! I have a record collection of Orson Welles' "The Shadow". I mean, nowhere near the same decade, but whatever. I'm excited.
