Also, since I'm adding to the thread, I'll add the Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons as one of the best series of novels I've ever read. It's also a story that's been trying to break onto the big screen for a good long time.

+1000 ! Impossible to make movies from though IMHO.

Hyperion has been in the process of scripting and such for a few years. I haven't been keeping up - updates are on his site - but I think it's possible to do it. We'll just have to see whether someone can.

You already posted that early on.

Wow . . . I thought this was a new thread. Looking at my prior post though is almost creepy. The list is almost identical, right down to the parentheticals! That is ---smurfing--- weird.

Slightly, yeah.

First, it depends on why you're reading them.

Is this directed at me? If so, what do you mean? What is "it" and what is "them?" If them is the books on my list, I'm recommending them because I enjoy reading and they are among the most enjoyable books I've ever read.

No. To everyone. The question is: for what reason before one dies (and I don't mean right before one dies, but just in life in general) would reading anything be absolutely necessary?

In that case . . . maybe the instruction manual for dangerous equipment that it was necessary for me to operate? :)

That's because this is YOUR top ten, not THE top ten.
