I know school has ruined reading for me and I was never a big reader in the first place. I've read the Harry Potter books, Native Son, and a couple others. Read the walking dead comics and the watchmen graphic novel.

Native Son

A movie remake of that would be

Get Shorty and Out of Sight

Those were books prior to being movies?

The exorcist.

Let sit in on this cause every book that was made into a movie that I've seen is so trash.

That's what I'm saying. I've never seen a successful book to movie transition. Ever
And I must say , these replies have me intrigued. I have to see some of these movies!

The books are mildly amusing... the movie is actually funny.

Interesting

I've never read the books but I do remember a somewhat show... I saw the movie with my niece & even took free pics with Paddington for a movie promo... The movie was decent. I would say Curious George was too since this was mentioned .

Nobody mentioned The Godfather yet? At times the book reads like a pure pulp novel with outrageous subplots (like Sonny's mistress and her big vagina problems) that have no business being there.

lol yup, wanted to post this. The Godfather book is low brow trash on the low. Multiple chapters dedicated to a chick with a huge vagina

Also thought the DaVinci Codes/Angels and Demons books were goofy but the movie was good.
