Yeah I had to read that book over the summer for English III, good read. It's small, though; I read it in one day.compacho wrote:OF MICE AND MEN. Thats the best book. For those unfortunate enough to have not read it, then lemme say this. Every cartoon, movie, and show that has a big dumb guy and a small smart guy personality characteristics are based off this book. Its worth the reading.
I really need to finish reading the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series (I kinda stopped reading for no reason during The Restaurant at the End of the Universe) but I think I'm going to pick up the Salmon of Doubt first.
It's thinking...

The Varayan memoirs - Rick Shelley (Great trilogy, named my son after the son of the king/hero of Varay)
The Psychomech trilogy - Brian Lumley freaky scary stuff.
Just noticed I am a fan of Trilogys (This last one is a mis-named trilogy though -It's 4 and a half books)
The Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy - Douglas Adams My absolute fave, amazing funny stuff.
Hope you enjoy

Read the next 3 books, well mainly the next 2 for a continuation of it all tying in elemnts from the film and going into a bit more depth, they are good reading.toastman wrote:Just finished Blade Runner, and like Minority Report, it's nothing like the movie.
theres no-one else to blameThe Prisoner - Makes NGE's ending look almost intelligible.

You already did 'Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep' is Bladerunner, though the following books in the series are labeled as BladerunnerSickliquid86 wrote:I read "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep" I wan't aware there was an actual book called Blade Runner if so I will have to read it.

Yeah, I figured more people would recognize the movie title. The book's actually been retitled to "Blade Runner (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep)".Hawq wrote:You already did 'Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep' is Bladerunner, though the following books in the series are labeled as BladerunnerSickliquid86 wrote:I read "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep" I wan't aware there was an actual book called Blade Runner if so I will have to read it.
But what are the titles to the next two books? And from what I've gathered the book contained most of what the movie had plus some stuff. Like the movie didn't even go into WWT too much, the dust, the whole animal craze, or Mercerism.
