NO movie is EVER as good as the book. It just ain't possible.

Contact, Carl Sagan. Movie is far better than the book.

Superman

What have I done. I started Walter Isaacson's Leonardo da Vinci. Audiobook for my commute. The book is nearly 17 hours; I may have to request a renewal for this one.

Congratulations!
I have tried to read this book multiple times over the last 40 years or so, but could not get more than halfway through it. I will try it again soon.

Not light enough! After Atlas Shrugged, you need something like the Peanuts strip

Her writing is very bludgeony.

Her writing is very bludgeony.

It's like work trying to get through one of her books.

My English class required it. Book report, naturally.

Reading Stolen Prey by John Sandford

Silence of the Lambs
Godfather (I and II, not III)
Gone with the Wind

You are so right! I found the novel, Godfather, almost unreadable. The movie was brilliant.

Bad break up, quit a big paying job, it was a gift from "her"... I sat next to the running water of the wear, and read it, I've read some Plato and other stuff, but I did enjoy this, I had my own "Pheadrus" I was fighting, I guess you can run but you can't hide...

Finished The Girl on the Train. I really enjoyed it. Was confusing at first, but couldn't put it down. Haven't seen the movie. Would like to, just to see how well they did.

Don't know if you have seen the movie yet, but I would skip it. To be honest, I thought the book was okay - not that great but also nothing that I needed to throw across the room in disgust (*coughcoughTheHelpcoughcough*). But the movie was boring. They had it take place in NY, not London, for one, which isn't a bad thing in amd of itself, but it didn't really translate well in this case. And it made good actors look like they had the emotional range of a carrot.
