 They could release an update saying they were going to give every team free puppies and kittens, and many teams would vehemently complain this change was too late to budget dry kibbles into their budget. - artdutra04 [more] |

Favorite Book?
What is your favorite book of all time, in any category?
I'd have to say my favorite is Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card, and I highly recommend everyone check it out. What have you got to say?

Hmmmm...This is not necessarily my favorite...but it is a good one and it was the first thing that popped into my head when i read it. The outsiders. It is an awesome book, and an awesome movie.

I'm a geek, so I'll have to say:
The Age of Spiritual Machines: When Computer Exceed Human Intelligence by Ray Kurzweil Its a pretty interesting read on the history of modern computing, and then the author's vision of what will happen in the future.

Tom Brokaw's The Greatest Generation is probably one of the best collection of stories ive ever read....excellent book. Its a collection of stories from world war II veterans.
My favorite fictional book is Catch-22 by Joseph Heller....it starts slow and its really come a long way.

I don't really have a favorite book, so I'll pick one I started reading recently that I liked. It is Star Trek: I'm Working on That A Trek From Science Fiction To Science Fact by William Shatner and Chip Walter. It is an interesting book talking about how certain things from Star Trek could be made in real life. Examples: Warp Drive, Time Travle, Transporter.

My favorites change all the time, and just like music, I could never pick an absolute favorite. One of my favorites lately has been American Gods by Neil Gaiman. The book I've read the most has got to be Tailchaser's Song by Tad Williams (it's a Watership Downs style but from the view point of cats and I've read it over ten times). And my favorite non-fiction is Geeks by Jon Katz

Hmm.. my favourite?.. I think it's a toss up probably between The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley and Uther by Jack Whyte. They're both based on Arthurian(sp?) legend and they're both really well written. Actually the whole Mists of Avalon trilogy is great, but The Mists of Avalon itself is still my fave from that. Either way, they're all great books and if you have any interest in the subject, check em out. You'll be amazed at the spin Marion Bradley puts on the legend.

The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. There are 4 books, but there are more to come. Very well written novels, with my favorite being the last one: Wizard and Glass.

Weee.
The Neverending Story - Michael Ende
(It is neverending. I've yet to finish it, and I've tried twice. Somehow, though, I still love it.) It was made into a classic movie in 1984. The movie ends very early on in the novel. II somewhat follows a theme in the novel, and III is a bastardization of a classic. Something Wicked This Way Comes - Ray Bradbury This was made into a movie by Disney in 1983. It's not great, but not terribly, either. The book is better, of course. The Haunting of Hill House - Shirley Jackson This was the inspirating for Jan de Bont's 'The Haunting' (1999) as well as 'House on Haunted Hill' (1958) and it's remake (1999). 1984 - George Orwell I'm fairly certain this was made into a movie, but I've never seen it.
