As a massive Heinlein fan I’ll say Starship Troopers because I think that’s a fascinating discussion about what you owe your country or the price of citizenship. Since Heinlein is my favorite author I’ll pick another one as well.. A Scanner Darkly by Philip K Dick. I know he had drug issues and this book is an interesting look at the cycle of drugs and addiction and the ending was tragic but also very realistic. I like that the movie included his tribute at the end.

I have Sone if his short story anthologies and still getting his books. It is interesting how much he has been adapted. You have a favorite story? I have a book of his essays and general thoughts that came out after he died. I haven’t read it yet but look forward to it.
I like Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep as my favorite original and I loved Blade Runner but I have to admit that A Scanner Darkly was probably the best film adaptation as far as being faithful to the book.
Oddly, Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris was the closest book to movie I've ever seen. I don't think there was a line in the film that wasn't in the book.
