"Once to Rupert and back"? Is that an idiomatic way to order a train
ticket or something?
Ah! I only have /Per anhalter durch die Galaxis/. My German is very
bad and not really up to reading a novel - I struggle with "Chip" and
"C'T"! - but I have read quite a lot of it. It's my favourite of the
Guide translations, actually. I especially like the Vogons, who sound
so /right/ auf Deutsch: »Bewohner die Erde, bitte herhören..."«
("People of Earth, your attention please...")
Tschüss!
