When we met today, after talking over Pride & Prejudice and Austenland, we decided maybe we should have a looser format for future books. So, for the next little while, we're going to be reading books that have been made into movies and vice versa.
Our first pick is "The Abyss" by Orson Scott Card. This one was actually written after the movie, based on the screenplay, which is an unusual route. Card is an outstanding author and I think this science fiction novel and it's accompanying movie will be a fun combination. I didn't find it on the library site, but it costs about a dollar on Amazon.com, so it should be doable. We'd like to read the book, then meet to watch the movie and talk about them both.
We're trying to think of all the movie/book combinations we can think of. Please add to the list below in your comments:
Marly & Me
Confessions of a Shopaholic
Emma
Coraline
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood
Where the Heart Is
Harry Potter series
The Five People You Meet In Heaven

How About The Reader? The Duchess? Man, who came up with the Abyss idea? I mean, it's so strange that I watched that movie just a few days ago, and I was thinking, I love this movie, and I wouldn't mind reading the book. That is spooky! Just plain spooky! I love that back ground too!
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cool Jen! Ive never seen the movie but am excited about reading the book. I think that I want to read The Reader too.
