Books are among my favourite, just as the movies. (That does not extend to the new Hobbit movies - although the book is lovely.) I also loved the recent Great Gatsby adaptation (and the book is beautiful), and both versions of The English Patient are lovely as well.

I love the novel East of Eden, but found so much of the novel missing from the movie version. :-(Captivated Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789205839634527219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652886466659402180.post-51908202291525593652014-03-03T20:12:12.018-08:002014-03-03T20:12:12.018-08:00I wasn't really interested in the Oscars this ...I wasn't really interested in the Oscars this year either. Except Jared Leto. I too really loved the Help. Also the 5 People We Meet In Heave was a good TV movie. I still haven't seen a really good adaptation of the Great Gatsby but I would love to have like a mini-series of that book.
