I'm really into fiction myself aswell, however I've never read any books from authors whos books have been developed into movies.
I've also never heard of Michael Scott, might check out some of his books. Always nice getting a new author to look into.

Why? How does that decrease the quality of the book?

The Da Vinci Code and such a like have always peaked my interest aswell, I think I'm going to get into Ken Follet's and Dan Browns books after I read through a few other authors.

Oh no, it's nothing like that. I personally like imaging what I'm reading in my head if it's a book that allows me to to do that, after I watch a movie I'm not able to do that.
But with that being said, most people come to the general consensus that the books are better than the movies.

It was extremely easy to guess how the storyline goes when you read Sakrileg but well.. The movies are good too.

I've loved Charles Bukowski since sixth grade and I a lot owe of decadent behaviors to him and Keith Richards.
My Computer
"what?" they say, "you got a
computer?"
it's like I have sold out to
the enemy.
I had no idea so many
people were prejudiced
against
computers.
even two editors have
written me letters about
the computer.
one disparaged the
computer in a mild and
superior way.
the other seemed
genuinely
pissed.
I am aware that a
computer can't create
a poem.
but neither can a
typewriter.
yet, still, once or
twice a week
I hear:
"what?
you have a
computer?
you?"
yes, I do
and I sit up here
almost every
night,
sometimes with
beer or
wine,
sometimes
without
and I work the
computer.
the damn thing
even corrects
my spelling.
and the poems
come flying
out,
better than
ever.
I have no
idea what causes
all this
computer
prejudice.
me?
I want to go
the next step
beyond the
computer.
I'm sure it's
there.
and when I get
it,
they'll say,
"hey, you hear,
Chinaski got a
space-biter!"
"what?"
"yes, it's true!"
"I can't believe
it!"
and I'll also have
some beer or
some wine
or maybe nothing
at all
and I'll be
85 years old
driving it home
to
you and me
and to the little girl
who lost her
sheep.
or her
computer.~
My favorites are the short stories illustrated by R Crumb.

I'd absolutely recommend Steelheart by Branden Sanderson to everyone here. By far the greatest book I've ever read (Actually caused me to pre-order the second and third books in the seriies - something I've never done)
Incredible characters and honestly just an all around perfect book.
And for fans of James Dashner (Writer of the Maze Runner), he has another series called the Mortality Doctrine that revolves around "True" virtual reality and video games and it's also incredible.
