So I’m sure I’m not the only one who reads books but also watched TV shows and movies. But I do find that when I discover they are based on a book I have to wonder if the book is better than the film version.
Since I’m sure I’m not the only one like this I thought I would start a discussion about this. Because this is intended as a DISCUSSION post I’d like you to share your thoughts in comments below. If you don’t, then it won’t really work will it?
To kick off the discussion I thought I’d start off with a bit of a list of some of the film versions of books I’ve seen that I either have read or want to read. In coming weeks (I haven’t decided on how often I will add a new discussion posts) I will be exploring individual ones in more detail to explain WHY I want to read the books.
I read these ones after seeing them (even if it was only the first episode/movie)
- Game of Thrones
- Harry Potter
- Trueblood
- Hunger Games
- The 100
- Divergent
- Water for Elephants
I want to read these ones
- Outlander (currently working on this series SLOWLY)
- Altered Carbon
- Vampire Diaries
- Pretty Little Liars
- Gone with the Wind
- The Time Traveller’s Wife
- Me before You
- Veronica Mars *added late May*
I saw these after reading them
- Vampire Academy
- Eragon
- The Hobbit
I am going to make a note that if I think of other books to add to any part of this post I will be doing so. You never know, you might even be the ones to remind me of others!
