Has anyone else played Starship Titanic? I’ve played and beaten it before, but that was a year ago, with the strategy book. :o Is anyone else doing something for him, like re-reading his books, or playing this game, etc? ---

I’ve played Titanic. Heck, I’ve even played that text based game of his books on the 486 that was out about 12 years ago. I’ve read all his books and even a book that was a biography of his life. Can’t say I’ve done anything Adamsesk since he became an ex-parrot, though. ---

I bought _Hitchhiker’s Guide_, which I never read, and am starting to read it. Good book. Shame Douglas had to die so young… ---

I was also inspired to read the Hitchhiker series by the great outpouring of feeling after Adams’ death. (Managed to get my little brother hooked, too. :D) I’ve just finished _Mostly Harmless._ Wonderful, wonderful books. As far as the OP goes – I participated in [Towel Day](http://www.binaryfreedom.com/towelday/). ---

_I re-read Last Chance to See_ and was taking the UC Subject A placement test when I saw the code for my college (UC Santa Cruz) was 42. This was only signifigant because I had just found out about his death that morning.
