December Challenge: The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle
All right, so you're getting the December title EARLY, but don't worry, when December 1st rolls around, I'll put up another dedicated post with a big picture linking back to this one, okay? But for now, you can get an early start on December's challenge

Oh, and the animated film is based on the novel! Not vice versa. ;-)

Oh, I know it is. I must have said it wrong in my post, so I'll correct it. :)

Lots more votes this time around, and it's one of those titles that if you don't already own it, you shouldn't have any trouble finding it (or the animated movie from which it was based, but even if you watch that, read the book too, okay?). Looking forward to this one, because I adored the movie when I was a child, and I've been wanting to read the actual book for a while.
That doesn't read to me like I said the movie came first, but I have had a few drinks tonight, so...
Or was it another part of this post?

In "you shouldn't have any trouble finding it (or the animated movie from which it was based...", I read the second it as referring to the book, which makes the phrasing read as if the book is derived from the film. Hence my momentary confusion. :) It's no big, obviously!

For paranormal romance, ideas include: Charlaine Harris' Dead Until Dark, Laurell K. Hamilton's Guilty Pleasures or A Kiss of Shadows, Patricia Briggs' Moon Called or Cry Wolf, and other such novels. I'm not sure all of those qualify as PNR, though...
Classic sci-fi ideas include: Dune by Frank Herbert, The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin (or The Lathe of Heaven), Stranger in a Stranger Land by Robert Heinlein, The Time Machine by H.G. Wells (or War of the Worlds), etc. etc.
