The Secret Life of Bees was awesome, The Road was depressing like whoa, and The Time Traveler's Wife was simply the most amazing book everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (so excited for this adaptation!!!!!!)
have you read any of them already? (well, i know Choke, because you hate me. and speaking of which, I've been meaning to tell you that Survivor has taken Choke's place as my new favorite Chuck book. You really should read it. I don't think they'll ever make a movie out, but I still think you should really, really read it. And you won't have to hide the pages from innocent children sitting next you! -- it's nowhere near as disgusting as Choke...not even close...i swear
)
1So far Choke, Appaloosa, and Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. I just started Blindness. If I read a book too far away from it's release date I'll forget everything. I've already forgotten all of Choke. Same thing happened last year with No Country...that's why I've been sitting on The Road for over a year. It's kinda pathetic
2Forgive my ignorance towards this but are you going to be writing reviews for all of those?
3Momo- that's not ignorant at all! If I was really good I would, but I'm not that good. I'll be lucky if I get around to half of the ones based on books, and a lot of the ones based on movies I likely won't bother with.
4You must lend me some of these! I love reading books before I see the movies. Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist looks interesting.
5I want to see the Nights in Rodanthe (based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks). I really love the book.
6Some of these are going to be SO good! I just added a bunch of books to my wishlist from your list, thanks!
