I am absolutely amazed at anyone who can watch the whole thing and stay awake...god it drones on....

And, I had forgotted the humor of the six book trilogy...

My comic is the actual comic adaptation of the Hitchhiker's Guide. You can see it here .

I'd definitely agree. I loved the first one, the second and third were okay, but the fourth (God-Emperor of Dune) was just bizarre. I stopped there. I did like the three prequels written by his son, though. They were very good stories, and well written. They were also more like the original Dune.

Call me a geek if you want but my favorite are the Harry Potter books. I think 3rds the best.

Re: Favorite Book?
 

My favorite book so far is Isaac Asimov's "I, Robot".

Re: Favorite Book?
 

I read a lot, so here are several: The Untold Story of the Third World War (pretty thick, but still good), Hannibal, The Star Wars books by Timothy Zahn, the Bathroom Readers...I'll try to think of more.

The best book I've read recently is STIFF: The Curious Lives of Human Cadevers by Mary Roach. It was a very interesting book on what has happened to cadavers in the far past with some of the social implications for what they did and why, along with lots of diffrent things they use them to test for now, and some things they don't.

I've been reading [u]Brave New World[/i] by Aldous Huxley. It's an excellent book. It's quite deep. It was recommended to me by my favorite English major :)

I read that sophomore year. Good book.

I've read a lot of good books. I think the one that sticks with me most, though, is Lance Armstrong's "It's Not About The Bike". Without a doubt the most inspirational book I have ever read.

No one mentioned Neal Stephenson yet? I'm surprised.

My favorite book is Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. It's dense at some parts, but overall extremely enjoyable and very well written.
Snow Crash, by the same author, is quite good as well.

Re: Favorite Book?
 

I'd probably have to say The Griffin and Sabine trilogy (well, now it's two sets of trilogies) by Nick Bantock. It's easy reading, but very deep. Not to mention the amazing art (also provided by Bantock)

Chicken Soup and The Other Side Of Darkness.

Re: Favorite Book?
 

The best book I've read lately is The City of Truth by James Morrow. It takes place in a city where people have been brutally conditioned to always tell the truth, no matter what. It's about a man whose son gets bitten by a rabbit while at Camp Ditch the Kids, and contracts a fatal disease from the bite. The main character decides he must how learn to lie if, as he believes, only falsehoods can give his son enough hope to effect a cure.

It's a very well written book, with lots of humor (such as a signs in elevators that read: THIS ELEVATOR MAINTAINED BY PEOPLE WHO HATE THEIR JOBS. RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK., and a car called Ford Sufficient) but it also has a lot of sadness too. One thing it really made me think about is that as much as I love honesty, I wouldn't want to live in a world with no choice.

Well i would be lax if i didnt give The Hitchhikers Guide a mention. But it is extremely hard to pick a hands down favorite. I deeply enjoyed Your Brain Is God By Timothy leary. Nothing In This Book Is True, But It's Exactly How things Are By Bob Frissel was also a good read. In a more Fantasy oriented view, I enjoy almost anything written by R.A. Salvatore.

Re: Favorite Book?
 

My favorite book is Who Moved My Cheese?. It is a good book about change.

Re: Favorite Book?
 

eh, I don't have any particular favorite.

Shadowmancer by G.P Taylor is good.
Lord of the Rings Trilogy and The Silmarillion by JRR Tolkien
The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness by Frank Peretti
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

and the list continues...
