my list of the books you must read before you watch the movie. If it is not there on the list, it means i have not done either, or it is not good enough. The order is based on the book more than the movie.
1) Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank redemption. Nothing much to say about this stuff.
2)To kill a mocking bird. Relevant for all times.
3)The green mile. What to say, oh King!
4)The city of god. For once, perhaps the movie sort of outshines the book.
5)The godfather. How could Coppola ever avoid that moment of shock from his script.
6)The Jurassic Park. Steven who? the genius is Crichton's.
7)Requiem for a dream. No comments, except how seriously difficult it is to find some books.
8)The silence of the lambs. shhhhhh!!
9)A painted house. They should have left this gem of a book alone. But they didn't.
10)Schindler's list . Don't know. Never really could understand the hype.
The list is not endless!, though the number can be more than ten!
