14. me too.
But I've also borrowed a lot of books that I've never returned. I consider it even.

The Phantom was a great book, but a horrible movie.

6. I don't recall reading any of those titles
I go for the recognition factor in a lot of things and if its not on your list, I won't remember. I read a whole bunch of those type of books one summer, well one year, and its all a blur of names and titles now.

7. His books are such easy reads!
I love them for vacations. I am not being demeaning in any way. His characters are cool and fun to "know". I have read a bunch but I do not remember what books I have read, I usually leave them at the library or give them away when I am done.

8. AntiMan
I think that was the title I bought it because I liked the cover and spiel on the back and I remember it was an enjoyable read but somewhat slight (I was 15 and read all the interesting sci-fi books I could find at the time)...I sold the book and later when I heard he had become well known tried looking for that book again but never could find it!

15. All of them. I don't have any particular favorite.
Right now I'm reading Velocity. It's an edge-of-your-seat page-turner.
