@DVaz: Neil Gaiman did not write Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy. That was written by Doug Adams, who died in 2001. It's  one of my favorite books. It's actually based on a BBC radio show. As for Mr Gaiman, love Neil. He writes in multiple genres. Amercan Gods is awesome, as well as Good Omens. I believe American Gods is supposed to be made into an HBO series. Check him out on Twitter @neilhimself for some pithy comments.

Maybe not the version you are referring to, but he sure wrote this one -

@DVaz: And the title of that is..   Don't Panic: Douglas Adams & The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and here is the synopsis: "Upon publication, Don’t Panic quickly established itself as the definitive companion to Adams and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. This edition comes up to date, covering the movie, And Another Thing by Eoin Colfer and the build up to the 30th anniversary of the first novel.Acclaimed author Neil Gaiman celebrates the life and work of Douglas Adams who, in a field in Innsbruck in 1971, had an idea that became The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. The radio series that started it all, the five — soon to be six — book ‘trilogy’, the TV series, almost-film and actual film, and everything in between."So, he did not write any version of the Hitchhiker's Guide, he wrote a companion book that celebrates the author and his work.  Although, I will tell you, I have seen another author try to take up the Hitchhiker's Guide after Adams' death, and it was not well met. Frankly, among real Hitchhiker's fans, its considered sacrilege.

@Okiedokie: Another of my favorites. Some of the audio books are read by Neil himself. Great voice, well produced.

I couldn't tell you, although I'm an avid reader, I do not like audio books. I just prefer to read them myself. However,there are quite a few available at your local library's e branch, that can be downloaded right now!   http://hcpl.lib.overdrive.com/6536F5B9-834F-4CCF-9D70-B995349FC8DD/10/50/en/SearchResults.htm?SearchID=33859233s&SortBy=Relevancy#&SortBy=relevancy  4951
