Here are my favorite books.
Terry Pratchett, Discworld! Yay!
Robert Jordan, The Wheel of Time
Terry Goodkind, The Sword of Truth
I found the Halo books to be quite good for adaptations
I also like to read about physics and astronomy. My favorite authors are probably also the most popular, Brian Greene and John Gribbin.
What are some of yours?

The Wheel of Time
without a doubt.
I like other books aswell, but TWOT just has fork everything.
Sci-Fi wise I love Asimov and Anne McCaffrey's Pern shit. I do like Harry Potter, but I hate everyone else who does, I like Hitch-hikers guide, and despise the people who talk about how funny it is and have only read a bit, I like the His Dark Materials trilogy too... But I don't really read books anymore, too much school... I've got Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Hitch Hikers, His Dark Materials and Hp on tape though, and I listen to them allot. Its funny, those four were all voted in the top five books by british authors last year...
GOD what a horribly disjointed response
