About the Product
- Right before Earth gets blown out of space to make room for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect. He thought Ford was an out-of-work actor, but it turns out he's a researcher for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And also an alien. No one could better deliver this dry humor than Stephen Fry, whose narration adds a whole other level to the hilarity

This is the audio for only the first book in the classic trilogy, which actually had 4 books, then a short story, a 5th book, then a book that merged ideas from another of the author's series into a quasi-book-6, then an actual 6th book from a different author after the original author's death.
If you buy #1, you're going to wind up having to buy all of them. It's not impossible to avoid this outcome, but it is infinitely improbable.

The Douglas Adams narrated ones were on Audible at one point. I think I got them in 1998 or 1999. It's hard to think that Audible is 25 years old. The audio books are no longer for sale on Audible, but I just checked and my copies work. I don't know when they were removed from sale. These are in the original .aax format compressed to about 70mb for a 5 hours book. They have compression artifacts because they really tried to shrink them. Downloading them via dial-up at the time was a chore.

If you're a Steve Martin fan, check out an old book of his with really amusing short stories. It's called Cruel Shoes.

IMO, if you like Douglas Adams then most of Terry Pratchett's works will be okay for you.
