Before you read it, you should listen to the original 2 seasons of the radio series (they did more seasons after Douglas died based on later books).
The first two books were based on the radio series, although there are some differences.
But I think the two seasons of the original radio series is the best version of the story. The later seasons less so.
You can listen to it all here, but I would stop at 206.

Wow ... thanks for this again ... I've heard references to it, read articles about it but just never had time or space to read it ... I'll definitely look into this and take the time to listen and read it now ... never knew much about it other than the writer and the book and the fact that he just questions and holds a mirror to society and the insanity of our supposed 'civilized' society.
The insanity becomes more tolerable when you can find and read the thoughts of other people who agree that this world is indeed .... insane.
