 one.  Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are
 all complete nonsense.  I sat at my desk, stared into the
 garden and thought `42 will do'.  I typed it out.  End of

5.3 Other Authors

If you like Douglas Adams' writing, you might appreciate books by:
 * Neil Gaiman
 * Terry Pratchett
 * Tom Sharpe
 * P J O'Rourke
 * P G Wodehouse
 * Tom Holt
 * Grant Naylor
 * Dave Barry
... but I offer no guarantees.

5.4 The Future

Having just released "Mostly Harmless", Douglas Adams says he wants to
do a TV series about the Universe and the stuff in it.  He estimates
this will run around 12 episodes in length.

Plans are being bandied around for a ``Last Chance To See'' type book
with the wildlife photographer Jody Boyman (married to Berke
Breathed).  DNA says ``it won't be happening for a while, though.''

The movie rights have been regained, apparently, and work is
progressing towards a movie of the series being made.

5.5 Related Electronic Information

PGG (Project Galactic Guide for long) accepts entries on real-life
subjects, as well as unreal-life subjects.  A reader for the guide is
available, as vela.acs.oakland.edu:/pub/swbaker/guide.zip Don't forget
binary mode, ftp outside of business hours and contact
swbaker@vela.acs.oakland.edu if you have any questions.

Check out the newsgroup alt.galactic-guide, where PGG is alleged
to be happening.  The person to contact is the Editor-In-Chief,
Supreme-God-Over-All-Beings and Leader-of-The-Hack, Paul Clegg
(cleggp@aix.rpi.edu).  After long and protracted discussions on
which format is best for this, a decision was reached and I wasn't
interested enough to record it for posterity.  Contact Paul for
information.

There is also a paper-based list, maintained by David Hodges.  It
is used to raise money for charity and has been approved by
Douglas Adams.  You can buy copies (for charity), it is very
large, and would be tremendously illegal (and most would find it
immoral) to put on the net.  Contributions to this can be sent to
alm@doc.ic.ac.uk (remember to say they're for David Hodges as this
isn't his account).

There is a bibliographic FAQ posted alt.fan.douglas-adams and
news.answers.  The title of the article carrying the FAQ is
"alt.fan.douglas-adams Bibliographic FAQ".  It was initially compiled
by David Polak (ak515@cleveland.freenet.edu) and is maintained by
Nathan Torkington (Nathan.Torkington@vuw.ac.nz).
