To Be Read, or to Be Watched? - Page 2

A nice, short list of books that made it to the screen, often more than once. There's the old debate that's as old as the first movie ever made, "is it better to watch the movie, or read the book?" 95 percent of the time I like the book better, and 4 percent of the time I like the movie better, and 1 percent of the time they are about the same. That's my opinion.
