I've read all 4 books, although I read 2001 30+ years ago. I don't remember the specifics from the book, but in the movie, they go to Jupiter. In all of the other books, Jupiter features prominently.\n\nI don't remember the exact titles of each book, but they're something like 2001, 2010, 2061 and 3001.\n\nSee if you can get your hands on "The Sentinel" by Clarke as well. It's a short story. It was the concept behind 2001. If you're confused, it will fill in some of the gaps.

Check Amazon.com.  Or if not there ebay.  If not there try just typing it in to Google.  I have never personally heard of the book so I'm not sure what the results will be.  Good Luck.

Well, in the Odyssey, as I recall, he built himself an android robot capable of firing subatomic laser particles out of its eyes.  When the Cyclops (named Harry) comes back from a hard day of herding sheep, WHAM, the android makes Harry-Barbecue and they all run away to Tahiti, the home of Odysseus's estranged wife Carmen Electra.\n\nActually, they blind the Cyclops with a stick and then sneak out under the cover of lambskins, the Cyclops feeling them as they pass out of the cave to make sure they're only his sheep.  But I think my idea has merit, too.

I know it was in the movie.\n\nBut, "Field Of Dreams" was based on the book, "Shoeless Joe Jackson" by WP Kinsella.\n\nSo the quote may have come from there initially.

No its not and yes it is....here you can read about it from the author...the book is a work of fiction...it is found in the fiction section....i have placed them in " " the part of the passage that come from the "idea" for the work..... so mainly the answer is no.\n\nJames Dickey's first novel, Deliverance, is an adventure story of a three-day canoe trip  \nDeliverance \nin the rugged wilderness of southern Appalachia, in which four suburbanites are brutalized both by the sheer force of the river and by violent and degenerate mountain men. Although James Dickey, an Atlanta native, never identified Georgia as the book's setting, the city from which the four men come was widely assumed to have been Atlanta. The river where most of the book's action takes place, the Cahulawassee, closely resembles the Chattooga River, which forms the border between Georgia and South Carolina in the former's northeasternmost corner in Rabun County. \n\nOnly a few months after the book's publication in March 1970, a film adaptation confirmed its Georgia setting by filming on location in Rabun County and on the Chattooga.  \nDeliverance \nReleased in 1972, the film became one of the most popular of the year. Both book and movie had much to do with confirming to a national audience the hillbilly stereotypes that had long plagued southern Appalachia. The film, in particular, stands as the most degrading depiction of southern mountaineers ever put on film and led to strong protests both by north Georgians and by Appalachian scholars. \n\nThe Novel\n\n"Dickey, already a well-regarded poet, conceived the idea for the book after his involvement in a traumatic canoe accident on the Coosawattee River in the early 1960s."\n\n His story centers on four middle-aged suburbanites who head north for a weekend of whitewater canoeing on a wild river shortly before the completion of a new dam that would make it inaccessible. Three of the men, including Ed Gentry, who is the narrator and Dickey's alter ego, are inexperienced in the ways of the wilderness, and they defer to Lewis Medlock, a seasoned outdoorsman and survivalist, who plans the trip and leads the group. Once underway the novice adventurers encounter not only a far more physically challenging and dangerous river than they were prepared for but also some equally threatening local inhabitants. The novel's centerpiece is an attack and sexual assault by two mountaineers on the banks of the river that leads to a series of murders, including that of one of the four Atlantans. Their ever-escalating struggle for survival becomes a moral dilemma as well, as the would-be adventurers find themselves forced to cover up their ordeal when they reach the town of Aintry at the river's end. \n\nThe novel has been interpreted in a variety of ways, most of which focus on the tensions wrought when the sensibilities of modern suburbia are pitted against the more elemental values of the natural world or the primitivism of rural mountain life. The four men bring to their adventure different attitudes and assumptions. For Lewis and Ed, in particular, the challenges they face in defending themselves, individually and collectively, serve as a deliverance not only from the hostile forces of man and nature but also from their own mental and psychological shortcomings as the products of a soft, comfortable, materialistic culture. \n\nThe book faced a mixed reception initially. Deliverance was widely acknowledged as a compelling adventure story, but some critics found its violence excessive and its stereotypical portrayal of mountain people demeaning and simplistic. It was an unqualified success commercially and became a best-seller.

That would be "Holes" based on the book by Louis Sachar

I believe in it. The book especially is too compelling not to. I don't understand it, though, but I do think there's too much evidence to support some sort of occurance going on...not sure if it's aliens or what, but I'm convinced that there are many things abound that we just don't know about. \n\nIf you haven't read the book, do so. The movie is hollywoodized and nothing like the book.

Yes.\n\nTo Kill a Mockingbird is a 1960 novel by Harper Lee, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1961. It was made into an Academy Award-winning motion picture starring Gregory Peck by director Robert Mulligan in 1962. A coming-of-age story, it is told from the point of view of Jean Louise "Scout" Finch, the young daughter of Atticus Finch, an educated lawyer in Maycomb, Alabama, a small town in the deep South of the United States. She is accompanied by her brother Jem and their mutual friend Dill.\n\nTruman Capote was a lifelong friend of childhood neighbor Lee, and allegedly was the inspiration for Dill's character in her best-seller. Capote frequently implied that he himself had written a considerable portion of her novel, and some have said he ghosted the entire novel. At least one person—Pearl Kazin Bell, an editor at Harper's— has gone on record as believing his assertions were true.\n\nThe title of the book is taken from Atticus's advice to his children about firing their air rifles at birds: "Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird". The blue jay is a very common bird, and is often perceived as a bully and a pest, whereas mockingbirds do nothing but "sing their hearts out for us". Metaphorically, several of the book's characters can be seen as "mockingbirds", attacked despite doing nothing but good. The mockingbird represents innocence, and to kill one is to metaphorically kill innocence. Note that the protagonists are also named after birds: Tom Robinson and the Finch family. However, "Finch" was also Lee's mother's maiden name.\n\nHarper Lee stated, "To get the ideas for the book I used recent events in my time like the Scottsboro Trials." (Harper Lee, Book Review, 1964)\n\nThe events of this book's publication and the following film are also subjects of the 2005 film Capote starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Truman Capote and Catherine Keener as Harper Lee. It is also an excellent film and will likely be considered in one category or another for an Academy Award.

It's not based on a novel. The script was based on earlier scripts and stories written by Dan O'Bannon and Ron Shusett. From Wikipedia...\n\nDan O'Bannon (who had collaborated with John Carpenter on the cult sci-fi film Dark Star) wrote the original screenplay as a script titled Star Beast, a revision of some earlier ideas of O'Bannon's (one of which dated from some years before) about gremlins getting loose aboard a World War II bomber and wreaking havoc with the crew (the B-17 segment of the movie Heavy Metal used a significantly altered version of this original story).

Yes, the book was really good. I'm not sure about the movie, though. I'm going to see it, definitely, but certain things I'm dubious about. Such as the burn mark on Eragon's palm. In the book, the Riders are sometimes called 'Argetlam' which in the ancient language, literally means silver palm. Arget means silver. In the book, the silver mark of the Riders is from touching their dragon. In the movie (as far as I could tell, anyway), the burn mark is swirled in the shape of a lower case E, but does not appear to be silver. If Hollywood changed that, what other things have they changed?
