When I was in school, my favorite was Michael Crichton's "Andromeda Strain." Must have read that thing eight or ten times. Too bad the movie was such a dog...

Recently, I've set upon Robert Parker's "Spenser" novels. I've read them all, but my favorite is "A Catskill Eagle." Spenser is usually a pretty glib, snarky guy. Not in this one - he's dangerous, and the change of pace actually makes the other books better, because now you know what the man is capable of doing, and accept the glib and snarky more readily.

And last, I devoured Stephen R. Donaldon's "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant" when I was in college - these were the height of fantasy writing, as far as I was concerned. The third and final Chronicle is being written now - eagerly awaiting to see if it matches up to the first two.

My fave author is Darren Shan and I can't pick a fave book so my fave series would be "The Demonata"

Must be a big fan of Darren Shan sage too. I liked that series a lot but I haven't started reading his other series.

The book is different from the novel? That makes no sense.

My favorite author is probably Kurt Vonnegut, but my favorite book is Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. Likewise it was (thankfully) nothing like the movie.

I suppose my favorite author would be Lewis Carroll, since he wrote my favorite books; Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.
