As an aside, I just read (well, listened) the book and it was amazing. Truly one of the best non-fiction books I've ever read. It's both hilarious and incredibly poignant, in a way that never feels overbearing or out of place. I highly recommend listening to the audiobook version narrated by Adams himself. It's quite excellent; Adams is really a perfect narrator. You can find it on YouTube, since I don't think it's available for purchase anymore. (On the bright side, many of the animals mentioned in the book are doing better these days.)
