        That's one of my faves too Joe. One of the first books I purchased through the SFBC when my mom let me join in th early 80s.

        I gotta go with Asimov's Foundation series.

          Great book, I read it a couple times, but I didn't consider it a sci-fi, but I guess it maybe could be considered sci-fi. I always figured it was a war or horror novel.

          I am not a big sci-fi reader. I like high tech novels and black ops or under ground society novels, i.e. "Angels & Demons" by Dan Brown. It was a much better book than "De Vinci Code".

          Now that I think about it, I guess "The Stand" by S. King would be considered sci-fi and that is most likely my favorite book, read it several times. I am a big Stephen King fan. "The Long Walk" is a great book (or actually short story). Stephen King invented reality TV with "The Long Walk" and "Running Man".

                My favorite novel is "Monkey Planet" ("Planet of the Apes") by Pierre Boulle... While the book itself really isn't all that hot, what it inspired for the big screen was excellent.

                  I almost said "I Am Legend" but I thought it might be considered horror. As soon as I found out (last year...I know, I'm slow) that "The Omega Man" was based on it, I read the book. As soon as I heard the movie was coming out, I read it again. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I hope to soon. Or else I'll read the book again. One of my top 5 books ever.

                    It's a tossup between I Am Legend or Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.

                      "Valis" by Philip K Dick. Schizo gnostic sci fi mind bender.

                        Since the "pick only one" rule is in effect, that rules out my real favorite sci-fi book(s), which would be the Timothy Zahn Thrawn trilogy.

                        If I only get one, it's gotta be William Gibson's, Count Zero.

                          One book!?!?!?!?!

                          2010 - Odessey Two. Some differences from the film, ( good ones tho). I have re-read this several times. I enjoy re-reading it for some reason.

                            I think androids is Dick's least entertaining book have you read A SCanner Darlky or 3 Stygmata of Palmer Eldridge?

                                Hmmmm....

                                I don't read too much fiction; the only stuff I read regularly (or DID read) is the "Perry Rhodan" series. (I've read the first 150 or so... the ones they did in English.)

                                But if I gotta pick ONE it'd be "Mostly Harmless" by Douglas Adams.
