Douglas Adams died 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad. And has been widely regarded as a very bad thing.
@petrillic We lost him far too early. Just imagine all we could have enjoyed if he were still with us.
I met Douglas Adams once at a book signing in East Lansing, Michigan, at a now-defunct bookstore. The highlight was when he read from Mostly Harmless, the book that he had just released. He was a good reader and I remember the event fondly.
