I have not seen any hitch hiker' episodes yet. Hope they are as good as the book. Oh and I think that Terry Pratchett's discworld series is really good. Everyone should read them!

Ack 1fave book.. I'd probably have to roll it down to Anne Rice's The Mummy. Great entertainment.
other honorable mentions though inclue Stephen Kings Misery (OMG so much nastier than the movie lol) and the Armageddon trilogy by Robert Rankin. (such a laugh!)

I read a lot! At least compaired to my friends, the reason might be that I am a bachelor and have plenty of time by myself.
It is difficult to choose a single book, and usually the ones you have read the last year is stronges in your mind. Most of my reading material is Science Fiction. I like to dream myself away to a remote future, to a remote planet, to a distant past or to a galaxy far, far away.
I have written down the books I have read the last years on this page:
http://folk.uio.no/kristaga/bok.html
Some authors/series I will recommend (in random order):
C. J. Cherryh: Foreigner series
Orson Scott Card: Ender series
Isaac Asimov: Foundation universe
Larry Niven: Known space universe
James P. Hogan: Giants series
Zenna Henderson: The people short stories
C. S. Lewis: Narnia series
Frank Herbert: Dune series
Julian May: The Milieu universe
J. R. R. Tolkien: Middle Earth universe
Alexandre Dumas: The musketeers series
Some single books (still in random order):
Englar alheimsins, by Einar Már Guðmundsson (eng. translation title: Angels of the Universe)
The hitch hikers guide to the galaxy, by Douglas Adams
Rediscovery of man, by Cordwainer Smith
Gateway, by Frederick Pohl
And a lot more. Ask me...
