Re: Favorite Book
You can change that in your 'misc settings' on control panel, just knock the profanity filter off - if you want to, of course. 
I usually avoid the sci-fi-esque thingies as it's sort of like chewing a fork for me: cold and hard with a metallic taste that lingers in the mouth; though I did like Bladerunner a lot, it's a classic innit. :)

I used to have the entire series, and yes, the Silver Chair is the one that sticks out most in my mind as well oddly enough

Re: Favorite Book
Yes, now that I think about it, Silver Chair is definitely my favorite. The part I like the most is when the prince screams at the children in the name of Aslan to set him free, and the girl (can't remember her name), remembers what Aslan told her at the begining of the book...How when someone asks her to do something in his name, then she must do as they ask. It gave me goosebumps (I don't know why). Sorry, just remembered why I liked it so much and had to share.

Re: Favorite Book
At the mo' I'm reading The Piano a novel and so far so good. I haven't seen the movie yet, which makes it all the better to use my imagination.

I'm sorry Viola...I read that and all I can think of is Jason Mews from Dogma "What the #($@ is this?! The Piano?!"

Re: Favorite Book
Oh that's quite alright. 
I enjoyed Silence of the Lambs, although it was pretty much just the movie in text. Unlike Hannibal...

Re: Favorite Book
I love the old-school sci-fi: Bradbury and Asimov, Vonnegut.
The Hitchhiker's Guide series, though I was disappointed in the movie.
Lord of the Rings, and movies were great!
Ditto Harry Potter series
Posession, by A S Byatt, good book and movie
A Winter's Tale, by Mark Helprin
Memoirs of a Geisha
Anything by Gabriel Garcia Marquez,
The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood
"Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" by Richard Feynman--great humerous autobiography by one of the physicists who worked on the atom bomb
Many more I can't name... I grew up without at TV in the house, so I've read a LOT of books over the years. When I was in the 5 th or so grade, my teacher told us she would spend an hour a day reading us a chapter from a book, and gave us several to choose from, she wanted on that none of us had read before. I had read them all already! (to this day I think she thought I was lying, but I really had!)

LOVE Kay's Phantom - I don't think I've read it one time without crying. Leroux's novel... lacked something, IMO.

Indeed, the movie was VERY disappointing (I like Martin Freeman, though - there's a BBC show called The Robinsons that he stars in that's quite funny, and he had a smallish role in Love Actually that's quite... memorable  ). Have you ever seen the BBC mini-series of H2G2? It's available on DVD now... Quite corny, but in a better way than the movie.

Re: Favorite Book
I think I've seen bits and pieces of the BBC version on late night public television. They would only have had to change a few things to make the Hitchhiker's Guide a better movie, but the guys who played Ford and Arthur were great. Zaphod sucked ass.
