	Documenting extra credit: Salmon of Doubt

	What about Last Chance to See and Starship Titanic?

	Those aren't novels. Neither are the "Meaning of Liff" books.

	Good quiz, although it interferes with my efforts to pretend "Mostly Harmless" was never written.

	One of my rare 100%s on a quiz.

	eln, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who feels that way

	Wasn't Young Zaphod Plays it Safe another one of his books?

	maniacalclown:	Feb 11th, 2009 at 04:36 GMT	8 points
	@Chaz: That one's a short story. It's included in the single-book version of the Hitchhiker's series. I'm not sure if it was ever published in anything else.

	Young Zaphod's in the Salmon of Doubt too.

	Wynne101:	Feb 17th, 2009 at 01:49 GMT	4 points
	he also wrote Last Chance to See, about taking a trip to see endangered animals, such as Kakapos.

I had a feeling there was a bonus for the meaning of everything.

	Happy Birthday, Mr. Adams. We miss you.

	we all miss you

	A rare talent who is very much missed.

	@Kate: "Starship Titanic" was written by Terry Jones (in the nude according to him) and "Last Chance to See" was Non-Fiction and therefore not a novel

	Man, I missed the non-hitchhiker books.

	Wackd:	Apr 7th, 2009 at 15:25 GMT	4 points
	Should be "Douglas Adams books"--they could put in Last Chance to See, Meaning of Liff (and Deeper Meaning of Liff), and Salmon of Doubt. Starship Titanic might qualify, as not only was the whole thing based off a Guide entry but also the book came from the computer game Adams was developing at the time.

	Ressa:	Apr 23rd, 2009 at 06:02 GMT	3 points
	I do agree with Wackd, they should include all his books. @maniacalclown: Young Zaphon Plays It Safe was, I believe first published in the The Utterly Utterly Merry Comic Relief Christmas Book, but I could be wrong.

	In addition if you enter 42 you'll get a bonus to pop up

	ah. these are good books. :)

	Platypus222:	Aug 12th, 2009 at 18:42 GMT	3 points
	Good quiz for some good books. @eln77: I liked Mostly Harmless. I don't see how you're saying it was worse than "So Long and Thanks For All the Fish"

	How in the blue hell did I remember Salmon of Doubt and Long Dark Teatime of the Soul and forget Life, The Universe, and Everything?

	daHOOK:	Oct 11th, 2010 at 20:20 GMT	1 point
	Some of these have to be read aloud in a British accent to get the full effect.

	No, the other end of the universe! Finished the Salmon of Doubt not too long ago- well, as much as he wrote- and I felt his loss anew. Loved the Hitchhiker series and Dirk Gently series. Wish he could've been around to write a script for more movies. Douglas, you are sorely missed.
