Favourite books.

Do you have any favourite books.

The Prestige by Christopher Priest. It's the book the movie was based on and actually, the book is (if its possible) even better!

Just about anything by Stephen King

Neon Angel by Cherie Currie is a really great book.
The Runaways movie is based off of it.
Not my favorite, but it's still really good.
She's also a Bowie freak. And I can relate to her a lot.
xD

My ACTUAL favorite book is- (Please don't hit me) Harry Potter.
I know, it's one of the most popular books ever.

OMG! I have read the original book for 'The Man Who Fell To Earth' by Walter Tevis, and...... I almost cried at the end! It left me full of emotions They do worse things to poor Tommy in the book than in the movie...

I agree completely, but

THE GREEN MILE!

I love that book so much, I found it sadder than the film!

I'm reading Angels and demons right now. It's actuallt very good!
I once read The saed and the sower, the book Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence was based on... but it was the most boring book I've ever read! Don't read it!!

I've been looking everywhere for that book!! I watched the film and about 10 minutes in I just thought 'shit. she's practically me.'
Then she started doing drugs and stuff, but anyway, yeah, I can relate to her a lot too

My favourite book is a tie between The String Of Pearls, which is the original Sweeney Todd book from the 1800s, Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, or Harry Potter
I'm a bit of a Harry Potter nerd *goes to draw lightning scar on forehead*

In these days i am reading very much Burroghs... just for keep talking about David

Catcher in the Rye it's probably my number 1 book, but I really enjoy also Lolita, Master and the Margarita, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest...what's more...I really like Dickens, Murakami, Kobo Abe and Christopher Moore. And I guess there are much more of them but right know I just don't remember

Mine is Dune, by Frank Herbert.

It's a good one. When we talk about scifi I would also add H.G. Wells, M. Shelley and his Frankenstein

I'm currently reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, and although the film adaption is WAY better, it is an interesting story. Philip K. Dick is a master of making you wonder just what's going on - things often make no sense at all, heh heh

Yeah, that's just all about Philip K. Dick. I see You're really into sci-fi

Very much so. It is the most interesting ganre for me, although there is a lot of crap out there (but that's true in any ganre I guess).

Asimov is cool. Haven't read the Robot saga yet... Should probably have a go at that. What Scifi books would you(or anyone) recomend?

Have you ever heard about well known polish sci-fi writer Stanislaw Lem? (I couldn't post external link here, but check him on wiki )

I've read Tales of Pirx the Pilot, Katar (The Cold), Solaris and Eden. There are really good.

I have heard about him. I saw Solaris, and I think Asimov mentioned him in an article once. But I haven't read anything by him. I'll definitelly put him on the list!
