It's a very sad thing when I can't remember the last book that i've read through and finished (it's been a logn time).

- Dune by Frank Herbert - widely considered one of the best SF books ever published.

I've actually seen the movie (told you I believe) and I liked the premise of it. I would consider going to the public library and checking it out to give it a go, but I think i'll start with something non sci-fi at first.

Harry freakin' Potter

We read the first one back in like Jr High and that was entirely enough for me. The book never has interested me in the slightest.

Just don't read Twilight

Don't worry, I never will.

I still have on my list is 1984, George Orwell's little masterpeice that everyone has always talked about and recommended. I'll see what I can't check out on Amazon and give something a shot.

I imagine the film was completely different to the book - the book itself has a lot of politics in it (people find the first couple of hundred pages very hard to get into because there is so much politics, all to do with the story world, obviously), and the Sci-Fi elements take more of a back seat, in the grand scheme of things.

Another one (with film adaptations, which are completely different to the book) is Richard Matheson's I Am Legend.

Mastership: The Divine Law by Clymer

It's a more spiritual book if you're interested.

You could try reading Manga or comics. They have pretty pictures, and suprisingly long words.
