The classic film thread made me think about films made from good books. So here goes:
* The godfather - the film is good but the book is so much better.
* Hannibal - fantastic thriller. How could they make such a stinker of a film from it?
* Any Wilbur Smith - mix of history and fiction - great storyteller.
* Any Tom Sharpe - makes you laugh out loud, so witty. The film of Wilt was not very good.
* Any Graham Masterton - master of the horror genre.
* Any John Saul - almost as good as Graham Masterton.
* The story of O - what an erotic book!!!
* The Pearl - The journal of erotic pleasures. Another wank fest!!!
Lastly for now, till I think of more - a newish author; Any Jake Arnott (had 2 turned into tv series; he kills coppers and the long firm). Great British talent that brings the sixties alive.
Over to you...... |

I don't have a particular favourite as an author, love different books, usually fiction (not horror - more chick flick), although started reading Autobiographies lately.
Someone whilst looking at my books by my bed said that usually looking at them you could tell a lot of a person, unfortunately mine were of such a variety it told him nothing lol!! Although it could have been telling him that variety is the spice of life |

just re reading Homer's Odessey to my 6 year old and have to say its one amazingly fine piece of literature - they are apparently re making clash of the titans if anyone remembers that - frankly can't wait. |

Way to many to have just one. All the Jack Reacher novels by Lee Child, Reacher is one cool mother I have read all the Alistar MaClean novels at least twice over, the Green Mile was a book I could hardly put down, John Connolly, Harlen Coben, John Grisham, Ian Rankin...............
As I said way to many to just have one fav |

"The Bible..... Obviously 
We have so much in common ...
But besides that I love the book called Man's guide to foreplay... it is a little booklet with 20 empty pages... "
Yes... but the 3000 full ones more than make up for it...
Not sure all have learned to read..  |
