Justin Cronin's vampire series and Robert McCammon.

Richard Bachman, hahahha...

Thanks for the recommendations...

Blunt already mentioned Chrichton. I've read anything I could find by him. I started out with Prey...

Sphere is great. There was one published posthumously I own but haven't read yet.

Have you read 2001, 2010, 2064 and 3001 by Arthur C. Clark? They're really good sci-fi and the first book is a lot more digestible than the film.

Also Philip K Dick, who wrote Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (which was later made into the movie Blade Runner) and other novels. Dick was a very interesting character.

Did you see Spot run?

Sphere is great. There was one published posthumously I own but haven't read yet.

If you mean Pirate Latitudes, I would recommend reading it. It's a very fast paced book, and a quick read.

[EMARX]

I would highly recommend Mark Helprin. Pure storytelling combined with gorgeous prose.

Did you see Spot run?

Yes, bad cleaner.
