I've grown pretty disillusioned about book-to-movie adaptations, with a few notable exceptions (unlike game-to-movie adaptations, which almost universally suck).UnOriginalNuttah wrote:

Obviously I'd like it to be an exceptional example if it was doneunnamednewbie13 wrote:

Currently reading Road to Reality by Roger Penrose.
Other favourites include:
Almost anything by Iain Banks, all the sci fi Iain M. Banks books are great, particularly the Player of Games, Consider Phlebas, Use of Weapons and the Algebraist, oh and Excession. Some of his others I didn't like, such as the Crow Road and Song of Stone.
Like a lot of Asimov.
Dune books, first one's best.
The Odessey (T.E. Lawrence translation).
Brief History of Time, Stephen Hawking.
Backwards, Rob Grant.
Liked Lord of the Rings, but find Tolkein's writing style a bit of a hard read at times, loads of description, then when something actually happens he demonstrates he can write page turning stuff. But you spend most of the book reading about what they had for breakfast or the different sorts of flowers in the hedgerow etc.
Probably prefer the Hobbit, since it's less hard work and more of a story, rather than a huge epic.
Catch 22, Joseph Heller.
Count of Monte Cristo, Dumas.
Always quite liked the Flashman books.

I hear Bush has been reading that lately. Very appropiate, a book about murdering Arabs. I didn't like it much myself.=[S3nf]= wrote:

I'd rather the other way round. Keep all books except the bible and all other religious texts. Burn them all and all the non-atheist heretics. lolSoC./Omega wrote:

"1984" - George Orwell. Wont try getting into it!
"Killing Pablo" - Mark Bowden. Excellent read.
"Che" Jon Lee Anderson. Excellent bio.
"War and Peace" Tolskey. One of the greatest books ever written.
"All quiet on the Western Front" Erich Maria Remarque, the best wasr story ever imo
"Brave New World" was a great read but not as good as 1984.
"Hitler Stalin" is a really cool book where they compare and contrast these two evil men.
I could go on forever as I love books! To the guy who said we should rip up and throw away all books, your an idiot. How can you possibly hate books?
"Total War 2006" and "If I die in a combat zone" are great reads as well.
Marconius, whats with Meim Kampf its an awful book, and Clancy books.. I expected more!
AND "The Prince" by Machiavelli someone should make world leaders read and understand that book, ok im done
