This is my favorite sci-fi book of all times!
I read it when I was in Eightgrade and I just remeber being so amazed and it's just a wonderful book.
I feel like going out to buy it now, to re-read it.
It's easy to read as it's written at a middleschool level..
Preveiw of the book online, you can read up to 35 pages...maybe more. It's really just an awsome book.
The Giver is a soft science fiction novel written by Lois Lowry and published on April 16, 1993. It is set in a future society which is at first presented as a utopia and gradually appears more and more of an anti-uptopia.
The novel follows a boy named Jonas who is 12yrs old. Jonas' society has eliminated pain and strife by converting to "Sameness", a plan which has also wiped out emotional depth from their lives. Everyone is assigned a "job" in this society and Jonas is selected to inherit the position of "Receiver of Memory," the person who stores all the memories of the time before Sameness, in case they are ever needed. As Jonas receives the memories from his predecessor—the Giver—he discovers how shallow his community's life has become.
The Giver won the 1994 Newbery Medal and has sold more than 3.5 million copies, although there has been controversy about the book being inappropriate for young children and has been added to many banned books lists.
Damn Christian women have nothing better to do- no offence to anyone.
It's really just an awsome book.
You should really pick up a copy sometime, you could probably finish the book in a day or less. It's really easy reading and quite the page turner.

Hmmm.....I think my favorite SF book(s) would be the Foundation series of stories by Isaac Asimov. The oldest ones are seriously vintage by now. Favorite SF film? That's a hard one. 2001 A Space Oddessy perhaps. I liked The Chronicles of Riddick and Pitch Black too. Oh, and the Alien series. And Event Horizon. Ah dammit, I just can't pick a favorite.

I don't watch too many sci-fi movies but I remember reading a book called "Heir Apparent" for a science book report. I loved that book, I read it in almost two days. And trust me, for someone as lazy as I am that's pretty impressive.

I heard the Pretties, Uglies, Specials are good. They were recommended to me by an old teacher when I went to visit the school. Haven't read them yet though confused
I like The Supernaturalists. It was awesome when I first read it a few years back. I want to read it again! ^^

I'll not mention SF books, because I like lots and I don't know their english titles, but I'll mention SF authors, the best I like:
Isaac Asimov - Arthur C. Clarke - Stephen King - Van Vogt - Eddings (not specially SCI-FI but Fantasy)
I just remember some books I liked, I just translated literally
Tomorrow, the dogs (Asimov - A story telled by dogs)
The son of the stars (Bradbury or Lumley I think, there is also a book from the same author, the bard of the stars)
Rocks on the sky (Asimov - A guy is teleported on a future where the earth is nothing)
Songs of the far Earth (Clarke - A nice book from scientist who land in a not so empty planet)
Now in french because I'm not so good in english: David Eddings - Trilogie des Joyaux, des Périls (6 books) - A mid-age fantasy with a knight, a queen, and a power into a precious saphyr, very nice to read!
And the book of the end here, it's a special one, I liked verrrry much because it's very nice, It's from Jean-Pierre Andrevon (I don't think there is an english version. It's "La trace des rêves", in a very far future, some men wake up from glasses stuff, in a cavern, and they discover a giant world, they discover a terrific big nature and ... they discover they are born from scientists which make them very smaller, with restriction of violence and weapons

The Madness Season by C. S. Friedman. Hands down, that's the best sf book I've ever read. Once I started it, I only put the book down to eat, sleep, and go to work.
Seriously. I highly recommend it.
As for movie-- Star Wars RoTJ. I can watch it over and over and over and not get sick of it. I mean, I've been watching SW since I was five. I've had to have watched the movie at least fifty times by now. At least.
Also, Cube is a really good movie.

The book question is totally not fair! It's like asking me if I have a favorite child!!
My fave movies? Labyrinth is number one (David Bowie in those pants... yummmm), and then Dark Crystal, Star Wars: A New Hope (nothing beats the original!), and Enemy Mine. I need to find that last one... I haven't watched it in so long!! The last time I went to watch it, someone had recorded Seventh Heaven over it!!! I nearly cried!

My favorite sci-fi movies are Dawn of the Dead, Cursed, Dog Soldiers, and a lot of others. Mainly, all of the movies that are on Sci-Fi channel(except for the movies that are like 'End-of-the-World' movies). My favorite sci-fi book is From A Buick8 by Stephen King.
