I heard "Of Mice and Men" is really good though, but I think I might just watch the movie if it came to it.
LOL! I want to write a book full of quotes of your Tay :lol:
There is a chance, that possibly, just maybe, the reason books are still popular after 100+ years, is because they're well written? The story often doesn't mean as much as the way they're written.
In fact, often very dull stories are only brought alive by the particular way the author has written - his prose. It's why most Stephen King films fail, it's because his stories are junk, but his writing is compelling and the books are about so much more than the story - you can never get that across in film
I'm now getting well into the second of the Dark Tower books. Okay, I missed book 1, and probably wont read the others for ages, but it's got me hooked. I hated the first 3 chapters, it was awful, but I'm lost in it now. I think it probably still is awful, but I'm just a sucker
Stonehenge (Bernard Cornwall) was excellent. Utter trash and a great bit of entertainment for a couple of days - I recommend it (and any of hsi other work), to anyone. With it being all about Stonehenge though, you can pretend you're clever though, a bit like reading the Da Vinci code
