I'm with Liz on this to a degree. "Mostly Harmless" reads a lot like someone saying "FINE. You REALLY want to know what happened to Arthur? CAN'T TAKE A HINT??? HE DIES, ASSHOLE!!!"...

The Dirk Gently books were definitely improving. The first is a wee bit opaque at first (second, third, fourth...) reading, but the second is good stuff. Thor is a wonder.

I read the same article mentioned at the start of this. They also mentioned finding a couple versions of complete HGTTG screenplays and other works in progress or completion on the drive. Shortly after his death, one of the people sorting through his material said there was enough that it may take years to figure out what all he'd written but hadn't either felt was worth publishing or just gotten around to submitting.

Now if only they can get Terry Pratchet to do the clean up and finishing work on VI...
