1. Fahrenheit 451. This book just appeals to me for some reason. It's a sci-fi book that deals with a nearly apocalyptic society much like ours and the trials of a man who dares to be different. the concept and plot just get me.
2.Lonesome Dove. this western was originally one of my moms favorite books and when i gave it a try it soon became one of my favorite books as well. the characters are so well constructed that i truly almost feel that i know them like a friend. the book being so long feels like you're on the journey with the characters as you read through the
3. Brave New World. This book instantly grabbed my attention and wouldn't let go until i was done with the book. the futuristic society created by Huxley fascinated me as i read about a future world designed by an author in the 1930's
4. Prey. futuristic concepts seem to be a reoccuring theme in my favorite books ... Prey features a fictional, but soon to be real, application of nano-technology that goes awry. i also enjoyed another book by Chrichton, the Great Train Robbery.
5. World War Z. Zombie book. the fictional accounts of the zombie apocalypse create a vivid picture of a grim future that will (hopefully) never come about. the writing style was unique in that it features an array of accounts from different people all around the globe.
Maxwell, I'm always happy to find another fan of Lonesome Dove. There are 4 novels in the series and they're all good. Also, just by coincidence I've read Prey also and enjoyed it, though my favorite Crichton is probably Timeline because it takes place mostly in the 14th century, one of my favorite times. Thanks for a good list--it helps me know you a little more as a reader.
