The Stand by Stephen King.

The Hobbit - The legend that is Tolkien

the guide's movie sucked tremendously.

Oh did it ever! Mos Def = Ford Prefect? And the love story? Zaphod was obnoxious as opposed to the unabated adventure-seeking alien that he was in the books...

I've read the first 3 books of the trilogy. I have to go back and finish the other two sometime.

I don't read much, but right now I'm reading Milestones. An 800-page biography of Miles Davis.

The White Spider: The Classic Account of the Ascent of the Eiger by Heinrich Harrer.

Um...I really liked Rickman as Marvin, and Zoey Deschanel as Tricia. As involved, detailed and "out there", (figuratively and literally) as the book was, I had no illusions of the movie coming close in quality. The book is my touchstone, the movie was a nice diversion. (Zoey Deschanel......sllobber.)

Oh, and I started the graphic novel series of the Gunslinger, (Stephen King), and boy is it good!

The Fountainhead

Actually, I've been trying to read it for about a year now, but I always get side tracked and have to start over because I can't remember all the facts.

exactly but i prefer to stop reading on so long and thanks for all the fish... i find that mostly harmless kinda ruins it as he never wrote the intended 6th

i didn't bother watching the movie, but i have read the Hitchhiker books and thought the BBC tv series, endearingly low-budget though it was, was really good.

i'm also somewhere in the middle of Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Nietzsche, but i've not actually read any of it for over a year. hard going...

surprised no one else has mentioned the iain m banks sci-fi novels - excession, feersum enjinn and the algebraist are all amazing. i love being in the universe he creates, the stories are fantastically awe-inspiring and on an epic scale and the characters i find really entertaining and interesting...
