If anyone here is interested, a great fantasy (NO! Not that sort Goatboy!) write is a bloke called Terry Goodkind.
He has a series out called The Sword of Truth, and it's amazing.

Ah..I never knew that. I haven't actually read the dirl gently books, there's one lurking about on my book shelf upstairs, maybe I should read that.

There was a lot of problems with his last Book...
The Red Salamander or something?
Apparently it was a Dirk Gently book... but the publishers felt it was written out of context to the other books in the series... Equally it was too similar to a Dirk Gently book to be published as a new novel...
So you can imagine how it would hack him off?
Even though... that was a couple of years ago now, so I suspect he had kept himself busy with his Digital Village multi-media company...?

Heart Attack whilst working out in a gym.
Now, it is really,really tempting to highlight the irony there, but I have too much respect.
To be serious:
I read some of his book and enjoyed them. It's a shame there will be no more from him.

Nor do I, but I make exceptions for the hitch hiker's guides. They're just classics. I don't believe he died :( And i still haven't seen it on the news..
I've read Hitchhikers many times, and i always enjoyed it.
This is a sad loss, RIP.
Anyone know what actually happened to him?

I never get the time to read any more... was talking about Hitchhikers to Pb the other day, and it was at the top of my list of books to read...
I know, it's tragic :( To steal something i didn't make up, but i think is brilliant. So long Douglas Adams, where ever you may be, I hope you know where your towel is.
very funny goty good joke we should call you the jokemaster
