Reader Challenges - Before I die...
Be loved by someone whom I truly love.
Question of the Week - Question of the Week #14: Books You Hate
Dan Brown has the unique ability to choose topics that interest me (and millions of others judging by his recent success). Strangely I can say that I enjoy and hate his books at the same time. The topics hold my interest, but the diction is elementary and character development is almost nonexistent. I will probably fall under the sway of his next conspiracy theory and pay my $24.99 like the pavlovian that I am only to be disappointed when the bell is followed only by a dry and tasteless reward.
Question of the Week - Question of the Week #63: Remakes
Hands down best ever film adaption of a book, "The Godfather." The book by Mario Puzo and the movie directed by FF Coppola are both masterpieces and are difficult to compare to one another as they are both so outstanding in their own ways. On the opposite end of the spectrum, my worst ever adaptation of a book to the screen must be that of Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," a classic on paper, ridiculous crap on screen.
Reader Challenges - Love Bites
He liked the look of her. She was easy to be with. He was content. Love, however, requires more. It can’t be a decision. Love grows organically not artificially.
Etc. - Question of the Week #12: Unfinished Books
USA by John Dos Pasos. I haven't gotten past the first 100 or so pages because of the accent of one of the characters. I can't remember which now, I gave up on it a while ago.
