Reply to comment by [deleted] in What's the best audiobook you've listened to? by TheAres1999

Blasphemy!!!!

​

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy read by DOUGLAS ADAMS.

(Sorry Fry, I love you, and listen to a load of your audiobooks but you did a shit version of Hitchhikers)

I know!!! I heard the Mostly Harmless version by Douglas Adams, and that was AMAZING!!! I have never been able to find them, though. An old friend had the Adams version, but that was almost 20 years ago!

Edit: I still stand by Stephen Fry, though, I thought it was still really well done. But, I’m American, and simple minded… mostly.

Haha that's fair! Sure look, Stephen Fry narrates probably half the audiobooks i've bought, but listening to him emphasize things differently to Adams makes me very childish as i've listened to Adams repeatedly over the last 15 years. They were good friends too, which just irks me even more about it haha.
