    @Dunny0: Me too. And I have to admit that through the years, a whole lot more has stuck with me about the Dirk Gently books than the Hitchhiker books. #dirkgentlysholisticdetectiveagency...

    @Chuck: I feel the same way. I think about the couch stuck in the stairwell at least once a month.

    I hope it's better cast than the radio series -- which I loved, by the way, but which had a really good actor totally miscast as Dirk.

    Dirk is not an old-school hard-boiled gumshoe. The whole point is that he was kind of a hippie! And the same age as Richard, the ostensible protag of the first book. #dirkgentlysholisticdetectiveagency...

    @JennaW: Less like Mike Hammer, more like Jerry Garcia with detective skills. #dirkgentlysholisticdetectiveagency...

    @JennaW: But also constantly slightly out of control of the situation while trying to maintain the illusion that he's totally in control. Like Willy Wonka. #dirkgentlysholisticdetectiveagency...
