    The Wheel of Time series (10 books and counting)

    My Life as ... series. I know they are for kids (Which is when I first got them) but they are SO FUNNY.

    Any book by Peter David. (Q in Law anyone. :D )

    This Present Darkness/Piercing the Darkness. Good books.

    Centauri Trilagy (Peter david again...)

    A Wrinkle in Time

    Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing

    The Admiral Thrawn Trilagy...that so kicked every other SW book out of the ballpark.

    The Princess Bride. (Though the movie was better!)

    ahem, this one has to be said: The Hichikers Guide to the Galaxy!

    misc Star Trek books.
    -----------------------

    Thats all that comes to mind off the top of my head....soooo many books, these are just the ones I've read numerous times.

    Orson Scott Card deffinetly, and Dune is up there(Hell, when playing Civ I call myself Muad'dib and my people the Fremen). Also i really like Starship Troopers and Stranger in a Strange Land. And the Centari trilogy ruled.

    1. Anything by Larry Niven.
    2. Almost anything by Frederick Pohl

    I'm currently working on a big pile of books by Larry Niven and Frederik Pohl.

    (i probably forgot some of my favourites..)
  • Entil'ZhaEntil'Zha I see famous people
    I did forget to add anything by Douglas Adams, Although the 2nd Dirk Gently book was a bit weaker than his other stuff. I still love it,

    Also the Narnia Chronicles, the Thrawn Trilogy, the Xanth "Trilogy" by Piers Anthony, and the Ringworld books by Nivin.

  • ShadowDancerShadowDancer When I say, "Why aye, gadgie," in my heart I say, "Och aye, laddie." London, UK
    definitly the dune books!

    btw, u know when u love dune too much when some guy pisses u off and ur first thought is "i should spill your water for that!":D
  • David of MacDavid of Mac Elite Ranger Ca
    My absolute favorite would probably have to be Dave Barry's [i]Big Trouble[/i]. It seems as if it was written by all of my favorite writers. Parts read like Peter David, or Douglas Adams, or Scott Adams (no relation... I think), or Dave Barry.

    (Notice a pattern? I value humor in literary expression.)

    My second favorite would have to be [i]Knight Life[/i], by Peter David, based on the fact that David is my favorite author, and [i]Knight Life[/i] is my favorite Peter David book.

  • Rogue TraderRogue Trader Somebody stop him...
    Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein
    The Stand by Stephen King
    The dark tower series by stephen king
    Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk
    The demolished man by alferd bester
    Dune by Frank Herbert
    Enders Game by OSC
    Watchman by Alan Moore


    And you should all read The Beach by Alex Garland, a fantastic book and a subpar movie.
  • bobobobo (A monkey)
    The ones I keep rereading are the Hobbit/Lord of the Rings.

    I just started re-reading the Chronicles of Narnia with my six-year old daughter. It has been a while, but they still charm me. We're on "Voyage of the Dawn Treader", my favorite of the series.
  • Vertigo_1Vertigo_1 Ranger
    You're not the only one who likes the My Life As.... series A#...though it has been some time since I've delved into them.

    I'm liking the continuing adventures of DS9 myself @ the moment. I have to say the technomage trilogy is close to my favorite. Also love Peter David.

    it has crossed my mind :)

    Any idea what my first thought was after reading about "the butlerian jihad" ?

    Butler:
    The head servant in a household who is usually in charge of food service, the care of silverware, and the deportment of the other servants
