The movie was solely based on principles emitted by Isaac Asimov, such as the robotic intelligence being able to conceive metaphysics, and the fundamental laws concerning robotics. These laws should go something like this in english:
1: A robot can never do harm to a human being 2: A robot can never permit by his inaction that harm be done to a human being 3: A robot must protect his own existence.
It's very interesting how Asimov picture the human psyche through the these robots, fascinating...
I still buy all my books and cds ^^. It's all the more enjoyable to read a paper version, since you don't have to grind down your eyes on LEDs. Plus you have the satisfaction of actually owning the thing! As for Siddhartha, it's one of the most masterful book I've ever read...
I too prefer the medium of paper for reading my books. however, books that would otherwise be expensive or hard to find, which are available in eBook format, are a great help for a bookworm like me.
Indeed...I've yet to find a paper copy of the original Alice in wonderland story, by Lewis Carrol...In fact yes, on ebay, but it's pretty costly. Finding books can be hard if you look at the wrong places.

In the bookstore where I work we have several, and they sell for like 3 bucks. They might have sold by now, though.
I haven't read evrything on your list, but I plan to one day. Have you ever read any Joseph Conrad books? They are also classics, and Heart of Darkness is the best book I've ever read. It's also one of the few books that I can quote from memory.
Out of modern writers, I'm quite fond of Toni Morrison.
I'm currently reading James Clavell's Asian Saga, which is pretty good. Not exactly first rate literature, but it's exciting enough.
The Stand The Hobbit To Kill a Mockingbird All three Lord of the Rings
I love the stand. I read the complete and uncut edition and dont know how they could ever think of cutting parts from that book. Lately ive been reading alot of Clive Cussler books
Planet of adventure. It's a nice science fiction book, about an explorer stranded on a planet with 5 different races. One of them is human. He tries to leave the planet, slowly changing it by passing in the different territories.
Anything by Anne Rice, Carl Sagan, or Terry Brooks. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card Kill the Messenger by Tami Hoag the Left Behind series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins is really good whether you are religious or not. They are just outstandingly well written books.
Series of unfortunate events. The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. Issac Asimov(found only one book out of dozens that I didn't like) Harry Horrible Histories. Orston Scott Card Terry Prachet
