Day # 3 of the 30 Day Book Challenge

The prompt is A Book that Became a Movie

There's so many.

I'm going with something obscure.

I was considering John Le Carr, but I've yet to make it through a Le Carr novel, I've no clue why that is. He's one of my father's favorite writers. I just find his writing exhausting for some reason. But in a different way than I do the Brontes. The Bronte novel I've made it through is Jane Eyre, and it's ironically the only one no one mentioned on the previous post. By the way if you listed a Bronte novel in the previous post, you can't do it again here. My meme, my rules, you know.

Why do I find the Brontes exhausting? ( Read more... )

Why do I feel the need to talk about this? ( even longer ramble )

Anyhow...

All that said and done, I'm going to pick ...one I can remember. I was going to pick Oscar and Lucinda, but I can't remember it. I don't know why I remember some things and not others. It's very odd. And the things I can remember aren't exactly better written...or filmed. So odd, and sad.

Watch on YouTube

I read the book after I saw the movie for this one, and loved both. Actually, I highly recommend the book - "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flag" - it's better than the movie. Much better.

Day# 29 of 30 Days of Halloween Challenge

Uh, I don't like the prompt that I came up with. Mainly because it's been done before several times. So I'm making up a new prompt.

The new prompt is...A non-scary Halloween movie that you would recommend with a happy ending. Preferably humorous.

Watch on YouTube

The old prompt was "Worst Death in a television show, film or book" - which was actually one a different day, but I put day 29 in that day by accident. Because I got confused with the television meme which had some of the same prompts. I also got confused - because we'd already done shocking death, back from the dead, and best death...that's a lot of death. But hey if you feel a crushing need to do it - have at it. I'll most likely not comment but I've not exactly been doing much commenting anyhow.
