Great literature transcends the movie version, usually. Sometimes, the movie's better. It's been years since I've read _Peyton Place_ , but I've always preferred the movie. I should read that again just to see. And I loved _Drums Along the Mohawk_ , both movie and book. I thought the book was in a different voice and some characters, like Lana and Gilbert are more interesting in the book than played in the movie. Another book I need to revisit. >Do you ever deliberately avoid seeing the film because you feel it can not live up to the book as you experienced it? Or do you usually like the idea of a book you like being made into a movie, and look forward to the film coming out when you hear someone's making a film of your book? In just the reverse. I viewed the movie Pay it Forward. I thought the ending so contrived, I thought for certain that it was a schmaltzy script writer/producer effort to yank our heart strings. But, wow, the book was faithfully done! I has been suspicious of new novels ever since. Tolstoy, the Brontes, Hugo, and Dickens can RIP. Hum, I do like Hemingway too...I wonder what he thought of the movie versions?

My favorite earworm today. Monty Python's Flying Circus: h5. A gesture that is humorous and charming is a treasure.

I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow: h5. Which I enjoy so much it doesn't bring me constant sorrow. Maybe it's the man singing..(sigh)

I am in a non-fiction mood myself, and since I write fiction, I do not want to innocently "lift" something into a screenplay. I have to balance out the downer of Thomas Frank's _The Wrecking Crew_ and David Cay Johnston's _Free Lunch_ with the positive of my latest, Wayne Dyer's _Real Magic_. btw- you're right about Lolita. That's what makes it such a troublesome read for me; that is to say, more complex. It is a right of passage in the minds of some young ladies, so beware midlife crisis gentlemen.

Wow, it's not exactly Barry Manilow's Daybreak is it? That's bridge jumping/sleeping pill overdose/"wheredidIputthebulletsformygun" type of song. Not exactly what I needed after Church on Sunday.. Oh well. Is he always in this giving up phase? Don't give up on yourself, then pretend to others that it's a sacrifice. -casablancalover Edited by: casablancalover on Aug 29, 2010 12:59 PM

What? and no favorites linked? Some believe prayer is when we speak to God, and dreams are when God speaks to us. Elvis Presley: What is your favorite Tom Waits?
