What a nerd. I like Asimov. I need to get my hands on some of his books soon. As a child, I have a complete set of "Isaac Asimov's Encyclopedia of the Universe". I think that's why I like sci-fi too. To be on topic, one of my favorite books is Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. I read this book in high school and I still have a copy of it until now. Douglas Adams also wrote for the classic Doctor Who series... The 6th book of HHGG was written by Eoin Colfer based on noted Adams left before he died. Sadly, the writing style is so different that I didn't enjoy it as much as I did the first 5 parts of HHGG. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members Journeyman6 24 Posted January 18 Members Share Posted January 18 1984 - George Orwell I got an interest reading it when it was made as an example in one of the marketing training I attended. I also got a chance to watch the old movie of it. Brief: In a time when all are controlled by the government, and watches all the moves of the populace and constant barrage of propaganda. The main characters got in-love,rebels and indulge in subversiveness. Why do you like the book: The subject itself is timeless, the political and social landscape is still relevant up to this day and the sexual content I can consider as a bonus. Back ground: Set in UK (known in the book and the movie as Airstrip One) A good read, one can wonder how the author relates to the events that tranpires in the novel,perhaps due to his personal experiences living in those times. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members Storm Trooper 57 Posted January 18 Members Share Posted January 18 Can't go wrong with Tom Clancy if one's into techno - thrillers. Red Storm Rising & SSN are page - turners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
