Etc. - Question of the Week (1/5/09): Which books make good movies? - posted 2 days ago

The Remains of the Day is an excellent movie from a book. And my roommate's boyfriend mentioned Fight Club and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest as good movies from books. The Color Purple is also good. The Shawshank Redemption is one of my favorite movies, and it's based on a novella by Stephen King (I haven't read it though!). And To Kill a Mockingbird. And The Silence of the Lambs.

I don't really like the Harry Potter movies compared to the books. Aside from one actor I particularly enjoy, I think the movies are pretty weak.

Etc. - Weekly Question (11/10/08): Which was "the one?" - posted last month

I was obsessed with Sherlock Holmes when I was in third grade or so - I had this huge book with every Sherlock Holmes story in it and I read it through a few times in elementary school.

I loved books and read a lot before then, but that's the one that sticks out most in my mind...

Etc. - Question of the Week (10/27/2008): What books scare you? - posted 2 months ago

Parts of It are pretty scary. Also, the scene in Red Dragon (Thomas Harris) where Will Graham is walking through a house where a whole family was killed.... scary, the first time you read it.

I really want to dress up as Cyrano de Bergerac. But I want to take the time to make the costume look amazing, so I hope to do it another year. This year I'm going to be a character from an anime series.

I'd be Alice, from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - I think it'd be fun to see all of Lewis Carroll's bizarre characters.
