I liked the book as well! (Although we had to read it at school).
It is really easy and funny to read and shows us a nice way to live one's life...
I think that the film is great, too. I had a lot to laugh and watched it several times...

If you want to read any book that is a science thriller, read jurrasic park. I read it all the time, over and over again. But, soon, maybe today or tommorow, I'll be getting a new book which I have high hopes for called parasite eve. It was orginally japanese, but they translated it into english.

If you are so keen on science thrillers you might get all enthusiastic about Frank Schätzing’s (a German author) The swarm, A Novel of the Deep. I read the German original and was totally fascinated even if I’m not science fiction freak in general.


One of my favoured English books is "Of mice and men" written by John Steinbeck. I was so caught by the story and the characters of the acting persons that its end really filled me with sadness.
I'll try looking for it, or if I have some extra money (which i won't for a while), I'll buy this book online. that way I can get the German version. Don't know if I'm that good yet.

Hm, I guess it will be quite difficult for you reading it in German. I found it ambitious even in my mother language. The story contains many special vocabularies f. i. from several fields of science, geography, biology a.s.o. I wouldn't be brave enough myself to read it in English but maybe you can make it. :)
