I Want to Know What Books You Are Reading

I'm about to read "The Shack" By, WM. Paul Young.

The movie that is based on this book is in theaters now and I just went to see it the other night.

Normally I would prefer reading the book before it becomes a movie, but being the goof that I am, I didn't even realize that when I saw this movie I already had the book and hadn't even read it yet.

I totally forgot that I had this book, when I saw that it was in theaters and saw the previews, while watching the movie I kept thinking to myself that it was a little familiar to me. When I got home from the theater that night, I went to my book collection and found it. Its been sitting on my bookshelf for months, I completely forgot that I had it. A friend of mine lent it to me last summer because he said it would be something he thought that I would like.

The movie was good, but now I wish I had read the book first. However, another friend of mine told me that she also has the book and read it, saw the movie too but said that the movie left out a lot of what's actually in the book.

Often times I find that once a movie is made based on a book the movie doesn't always do the book justice. The movie was good but, I'm anticipating the book more I think.

If anyone has read this book or seen this movie would you care to share your thoughts?

I'm listening to Silas Marner by George Eliot on Audio.
I did read it too, it's excellent and I just read Good Bye Mr. Chips by James Hilton (i'm on the last few pages, it's real good too)
Nice, I am gonna have to check those out. Thanks :)
