HOW COULD I FORGET ABOUT HITCHIKERS GUIDE TO THE GALAXY? man. so dope. "and the ships hung in the sky much in the way bricks don't" hahahahaha **

Yeah, those are forgotten realms books yes, but they are hella good. RA is the dude that wrote the new star wars novels based for the movies….not that that makes him cool, the new starwars is crap.

I like my D[HTML_REMOVED]D.

Anything by Orson Scott Card. The "Ender" series is pretty good. Read Enders Game, first book in the series.

Asimov's Robot/Galactic Empire/Foundation series is amazing. It's like 15 novels that are each part of their own series and they are all part of the same 20,000 year story.

that sounds like a kick ass series. how big are the books and how heavy is the reading? what kinda stories? will watching i-robot the movie have ruined anything for me?

…

as for non fiction i like vooks like…

stupid white men.
fast food nation
dude wheres my country

i wanna borrow that book "no logo" next.

…for plays (someone mentioned shakespeare?) i think Oscar Wilde has some good ones.

hitch hikers guide to the galaxy

Yup.

He also lives in the Mecca of the MTB free ride world. :thepimp:

best novel IMO is 1984 by George Orwell. He is probably one of the best authors that wrote a "fictional" story, but knew it would come true sometime, like it is now. :eek:

He lives here, doesn't he? Neuromancer was such a cool book. I completely forgot that I read that.

1984 is the best book i've read in terms of a thinker.

Dune was the best for story/plot/not wanting it to finish.

Gibson is from the US, but moved to Vancouver quite a while ago.

Dune definitely is a book that you get lost in and don't want to get out of. It's great how a novel can captivate you. Red Storm Rising, by Tom Clancy, is another book that is almost impossible to put down once you're half way through.

Zask, watching I, Robot won't have ruined things for you. In fact it'll make you appreciate the real thing even more. The film I, Robot was never supposed to be an Asimov adaptation. It began life in 1995 as a screenplay called Hardwired about robots running amok. Basically, some exec greenlighted it, decided the film should be called "I, Robot" and then the screenplay was re-written to include the Asimovian concepts like the Three Laws.

Now, on to the books. As for the difficulty reading they're not challenging reads at all. He sort of uses an old-fashioned vernacluar in the writing and technology is referred to in an abstruse sense (remember, most of them were written in the 1950s) but it's no big deal. They average about 200 pages, but the ones written in the eighties are bigger.

Diamond Age and Snow Crash, are totally awesome.
As well as anything from William Gibson.
