Best book-
DAMn it, Iv read so much...
I would say either Dune, Neuromancer (hasn't ANYONE read Will gibson? he entirely own Philip K dick!) or The Dark Tower

most dated book-I forgot, but its about the same guy who wrote Starship troopers, which I loved. Very funny, because according to the book, in 1970, they had robots, and in 2001, they used gold as microchips

gibson

Neuromancer is overrated imo. The ideas are great but his novels are badly written.

Yeah, but he didn't take the understanding-irony-pills. White laugh

Very easy,could read this in two hours straight nowdays, but when i was a nipper this book opened my eyes to another world and fueled my passion for fantasy/sci-fi which i still have today Thumb Up

ralph_angelus:
I wonder why no one has mentioned Umberto Eco's 'Name of the Rose' here? Rather dragging pace, but very good novel.

It is very good, I liked it. As a detective story it's great.

But I want to see someone who will actually name it as his favourite: to be able to do that that person has to really be sure he understands the book; not the story itself, but all the allusions and cross-references and stuff. We had the book in our literature course, I've re-read it since, but even though I find it a very good book - my God, that book is much too complicated if you try to look behind the mere plot. And it's the simplest by him, as far as I know.
