I don\'t read too much.  I enjoyed Richard Russo when I read some of his stuff, especially Empire Falls, but that was over a year ago...

Blade, do you mean that Christopher Pike\'s story isn\'t popular.

Oh well, I remember reading a book called "Searching For Dragon" and Dealing with Dragons from a different author.  Pretty interesting novel if you ask me.  When I was little, my ignorance lead me to read a lot of Goosebumps and other books from R. L. Stine until later I realize his story stunks.

ADD:  Oh do any of you guys here ever read book called Encyclopedia Brown and its series like EB: Boy Detective, and other books.  This is a very good mini mystery book where you can finish it in one sitting.  Each book have 10 Mini Mysteries and most of those Mini mysteries are pretty damn good.  I remember reading Clue (you know a boardgame was based on it), and i thought it was enjoyable but not as enjoyable as Encyclopedia Brown.

Ohh nice, Dune kicks ass. But the miniseries isn\'t that good, sci-fi\'s battlestar galictica remake was better imo.

Best Dune onscreen adaption was David Lynch\'s original movie.

C.S. Lewis... read the space trilogy, it will make you think about our little ball of rock differently.

Impressions/opinions if you have seen it would be awesome. After all its 40 hoursI believe. :eek:


I own the DUNE : Minieries SE and Children of Dune. Really good stuff.

Haven\'t watched Lynch\'s version of it.

The Catcher in the Rye is my favorite book, followed by Of Mice and Men.

My favorite author would have to be Michael Crichton. His books are good entertainment.

If they don\'t pick that up for an ongoing series, I\'ll be sorely dissapointed.
