Also Big Fish. Craig Send a noteboard - 14/12/2010 08:02:07 PM
In other words, I think you only listed ten, of which I would firmly dispute 4 and where most of the other 6 are not worth reading in the first place. Fight Club, however, is a valid choice, so you did "name one" as I asked.


If the book is "not worth reading" and the movie is decent, then the movie is better than the book. Not liking the answers given doesn't mean you get to change the criteria retroactively. :)
I am made of poison.

Competition with yourself, then. Darth_Katie - 15/12/2010 03:52:13 AM 1184 Views
I refuse to watch film versions of books if I can help it Larry - 14/12/2010 01:20:21 AM 1113 Views
I generally agree, but sometimes the movies are better than the books. *NM* ranagrande - 14/12/2010 01:27:44 AM 667 Views
Most of my favorite books are unfilmable. *NM* Larry - 14/12/2010 01:40:04 AM 643 Views
Just like Watchmen! *NM* Craig - 14/12/2010 02:46:14 AM 632 Views
Yup. Darth_Katie - 14/12/2010 04:06:14 AM 1158 Views

Also Big Fish. Craig - 14/12/2010 08:02:07 PM 1281 Views
I prefer the book version of that, by the way Larry - 14/12/2010 10:45:54 PM 1190 Views
Weird. *NM* Craig - 15/12/2010 05:47:21 AM 640 Views
Lots of poor movies there Larry - 14/12/2010 10:48:59 PM 1141 Views

This is a really good idea. I like the challenges. I wonder if I can be arsed to do one. Or more. *NM* M & M Maddy - 14/12/2010 08:23:42 PM 799 Views
Question: Can books count for multiple challenges? *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 14/12/2010 09:34:28 PM 734 Views
Preferably not. But we can be tolerant if you're running out of time. Rebekah - 14/12/2010 09:49:26 PM 1110 Views
But the challenge-books can count towards the 50 and the book you'd been meaning to read. Legolas - 14/12/2010 10:17:12 PM 1080 Views
Re: But the challenge-books can count towards the 50 and the book you'd been meaning to read. Rebekah - 14/12/2010 10:22:06 PM 1156 Views
So... Kaldric - 15/12/2010 04:13:27 PM 1388 Views
A single book can count for many things... Jacob - 15/12/2010 04:17:59 PM 1246 Views

Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian? Larry - 15/12/2010 01:08:04 PM 1305 Views
I liked The Road and No Country For Old Men as well. Jessie - 22/12/2010 06:23:23 PM 1168 Views
Is The Road really a western, though? *NM* Legolas - 22/12/2010 10:30:44 PM 696 Views
true. Not so much, I just always pigeonhole McCarthy as a westernish writer. *NM* Jessie - 25/12/2010 02:20:54 AM 592 Views
Karl May? Legolas - 15/12/2010 07:27:03 PM 1259 Views
