A book has usually much more details in the dramaturgy than the film version; and a book forces you to imagine the visual scenery yourself. A film is just a short cut version with a pre-fab imaginery. It's flat compared to what your phantasy is able to imagine. So much about books vs. film versions. I loved the hitchiker's guides to the galaxy when I had read them the first time in the 70ies. They were THE cult books at our high school (at least for those who were not so interested in "Das Kapital"). But in the last sommer holydays I have read vol. 1 again, it was quite funny, but not that sensational as I had it in mind. From vol. 2 on I got boared and gave up. Maybe I have to wait 30 more years and will like it again... Didier >I have been a fan of the GUIDE for too long to be so abused as to view >trash like this. >How low the mighty have fallen. >Marc
