I got static in my head.
My favourite novels are;
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Animal Farm by George Orwell
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The Beautiful and Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Steven Chbosky
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
I'm half-way through Nineteen Eighty-Four at the moment, and I'm yet to read Catcher In The Rye.
Also reading "Cloudstreet" by Tim Winton for school. It's pretty good, I guess. Kind of boring and typically Australian, which I find boring at least.

I forgot some of my favourite books in my last list <=[
Farenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury (had a choice of three books to read in school when I was 14, I chose this one)
Quozl - Alan Dean Foster (Anthro bunnies, a must read)
Codgerspace - Alan Dean Foster
The Anti-pope - Ian Rankin
Washed By Blood - Brian "Head" Welch
There are loads more, I've left another list on page 3 I think. I love reading with a passion.

Redwall by Brian Jacques. I read a few other books in the series and they weren't nearly as good as this one.
The Kin by Peter Dickinson. Technically a collection of four smaller novels, but they make one complete story.
Thud! by Terry Pratchet. I seriously need to read more of his works.
Prey by Michael Crichton.
The Ghost in the Tokaido Inn by Dorothy and Thomas Hoobler. I've been fond of this since I first read it in 2001. A detective mystery set in feudal Japan.
As far as actual series go:
A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket.
The Homecoming Saga by Orson Scott card.
The "Ender" series, and its parallel, the "Shadow" series, both by Orson Scott Card.
The Time Quartet (or Quintet, if you consider "An Acceptable Time" part of it) by Madeleine L'Engle.
The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. I've loved these books since childhood; I must have read the first one when I was seven, back in the '90s. I've got a box-set from 1978.

Strangers by Koontz.
Also any book by Steven Nachmanovitch: The noun of self becomes a verb. This flashpoint of creation in the present moment is where work and play merge.

I love reading Micheal Crichton's ( I think I spelled that last name wrong), Jurassic Park, and Lost World: Jurassic Park. They both are my by favorite, and nothing I have read tops my love for those books.
Reading the books..are much better than watching the movies.
You know though, his book "Andromeda Strain" was also pretty damn good as a close second.

The Ender's Game and Shadow of Ender series by Orson Scott Card. Quite a bit of furry-like writing in one of the main tribes (the pequinos) in "The Xenocide" and "Speaker for the Dead."
Anything by Robert A. Heinlein, but particularly "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress", "The Cat who walked through walls" and Starship Troopers (the book is divine, the movie blows). The bi-friendly writting in "Time Enough for Love" is cool; given the author's background.

Oh I did? Yay. I will have to say his latest book, Prey was a disappointment. It was no where near as enjoyable as the two "JP" books, or "Andromeda Strain" (which was hard for me to get my hands on BTW).
I heard they were doing a movie on the "Andromeda Strain" but I wonder if they will just butcher the book for the sake of money? If they do, it'll make me really sad.
My favorite book is the book I didn't stop reading and/or fall asleep on.
Specifically, Eragon and Eldest are those books.

Actually, Prey is one of my favorite books. But, hey, matter of opinion. Besides, I've yet to read his other works.
There was actually a movie of The Andromeda Strain back in the '70s, but I'm sure you mean the more recent version. It was a two-part miniseries on A&E. It aired in May of this year. I heard it was pretty lousy.
