Just finished reading Contact by Carl Sagan. I have been a fan of the movie for a long time and never thought about reading the book until recently. It was fantastic! I won't state that it was better than the movie in every regard as I think they made some pretty interesting changes in the screenplay adaption. I also wonder how it would be received by a wide readership audience today as I think some Creationists might argue that the book makes an original argument for Intelligent Design (the book is fiction, of course, so I think this would be a bit nonsense).
