#5 Alas Babylon had almost as big an impact on me, although it was a positive impact this time. Hard to believe it was required reading for Florida 9th graders.

#6 On the Beach scared the piss out of me when I was a kid.

I went to the movie and then read the book.

Times were pretty paranoid back in the old cold war, mutually assured destruction days.

#7 re #6: Ditto that. Movie still works as a fine look back into time. SF scenes still frightening - same with window shade scene...
