For me: Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.

I had seen the movie but never read the book before. It was a lot better than I expected.

Also what is your current/next book?

I'm continuing the saga with The Restaurant At The End Of The Galaxy.

Fucking Hyperion. First book I've read where I didn't like a fucking character. Damn that book pissed me off. First book I would not suggest. Anyone else dislike Hyperion?

I honestly loved it even though all the characters were awful people. I kind of figured that was the point

I remember liking it, but I read it long ago so don't remember a ton of it. I might've liked it because it's Literature and you're obligated to like it.

I like the Shrike a lot, does that count as a character? I always imagined it as something cooler than depicted in a lot of art though, like something completely unreal, with angles and points that look like glitches in reality, like your GPU is trying to render something while its melting.
