just read the damn book already.
When it comes out in paperback, I'll pick one up. Hopefully sometime in 2008.

Allhail.. you are simply incredible. You might be a magician. You can say anything about anybody everybody hugs you loves you cuddles with you.
You are an artist.
Roland would have understood.
No, we just know he is full of shit.

Random House conducted a poll asking readers what they thought were the

What do you guys think of the list? Our man Stevie made the list at #29 with The Stand and again at #84 with IT.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
Oh, yeah. This book was sooooooo much better then the movie.8. Jurassic Park - Michael Crichton (I read this in 5th grade and have loved it ever since).
You're so right. It was a million times better. I've read the book probably 10 times.

I can't believe Hubbard is on there so much, and so high.
his science fiction stuff is really really good.
May I ask why this book is so good?
I mean I saw nothing speciel in the movie. It was okay. Blood, bitings, big runnings and fear.
What's more about the book?
I really am interested in it.
Roland would have understood.
The book is so much more involved and interesting than the movie Letti. The movie was really a showcase for special effects. Timeline is also a great book.
Rjeso - who is the Merlin trilogy by?
A top 10 eh! Damn hard, but here's my best shot at it (for today!)....
1. Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien

3. Chronicles of Thomas Covenant - Stephen Donaldson
4. The Stand - Stephen King
5. The Mote in Gods Eye + The Moat around Murchesons Eye - Niven, Pournelle & Barnes
6. IT - Stephen King
7. Magician trilogy - Raymond E Feist
8. A Song of Ice and Fire - GRR Martin
9. Wheel of Time - Robert Jordan
10. Harry Potter - JK Rowling
&... just missed out.....
Dune (1st book) - Frank Herbert
Empire trilogy - Raymend Feist & Janny Wurts
Hitchhikers Guide etc... - Douglas Adams
Insomnia - Stephen King

I really am interested in it.Like Lisa said, the book gets far more involved than the movie. It explores the science behind how they re-created the dinosaurs better than the movie. Also, the characters are more exciting and I felt like the book was far more suspenseful than the movie. They just kinda went the "Big special effects and lots of blood!!!" route for the movie in my opinion.
And Timeline! I totally forgot about that book. Talk about another book waaaaaay better than the movie. If you haven't read Timeline, Letti, it might be another to look into. It's about a group of archaeologists who are working on a dig from the Middle Ages. The professor they are working with mysteriously disappears and they find in the dig a tablet engraved with something along the lines of "Help Me", written in the Professor's handwriting. Thinking it's a joke, they carbon date it, only to find out it's an authenic tablet from the 1300's. They then discover a company that has created a machine that will allow people to travel back in time and they go to the Middle Ages to try and save their professor. It's a really awesome book.

could it be Mary Stewart? If The Hollow Hills is part of the trilogy, then it's her.I can't remember either, but I remeber reading it, and it was great
