| What Books Woud You... Like to see made into movies that haven't already been done? When I was in my early twenties, I read the Hobit and the Trilogy of The Lord of the Rings. I thought they would make an excellent movie. Then they came out with that cartoon movie thing about the Hobbit and I was so ultra disappointed. The Brothers Hildebrandt had done some awesome artwork of this book and I thought the animation and all in the actual movie of the Hobbit would have been much better served if their type of art had been used instead. When the movies came out a while back of The Lord of The Rings, I was amazed at the rendering. MY GOODNESS! Their imaginative creations were so far beyond mine! They made some of the creatures so very frightening and I had a hard time watching some of it. So....what writings have you read that you think would make wonderful movies? I have quite a few, but I want to hear about yours. _______________________________________________ |

Donating YT 11K Club Member | lol i read them all so long ago, i wish i could remember everything. I would have to read them again but Summer sisters is a really good book about two friends that grew up together, they were so close almost like sisters. In the summer they would visit each other cause they lived far away from each other and they would go to Martha's Vineyard, to each other's houses and it talks about how they grew up, etc. i really can't remember in detail, i read it about 4 yrs ago but its such a great read. I loved it! Seventeenth summer i also liked, it's about this girl that turned 17 when the summer began and she first fell in love and the book is basically her love story. I don't know if it would make a good movie but when i read i visualize everything in my head, the setting, how the people look and i guess that makes it more interesting lol

I love to read and not just one type of writing. I like so many different kinds. I really like historical fiction. I was never very good in history because I am not into memorizing 'the facts' like dates things happened. But I love to read how it affected the people. I have been reading some books by Diana Gabaldon. She is an excellent writer who is able to make you feel like 'you are there'. It is total fiction (about time travelers...) but I have enjoyed them. Sometimes she gets a bit 'steamy' if you knwo what I mean, but on the whole...excellent! The first one of the series is The Outlanders. I always hate it when the 'story' ends. I want to know 'what else' happened. Thank you for sharing. ____________________________________ | |

I also am a Jamie fan. And a Claire fan for that matter. I was so happy that Jamie got to meet Bree. To me, Jamie is a very honorable man that has suffered so much and quite the warrior, eh? I quite agree with you that it would be difficult to cast him. They would probably want a 'pretty boy' for the part and he is definitley not a pretty boy in my mind. Strong. Purposeful. Masculine, but never a pretty boy. | |

One of my alltime favorie books is "Eagle In The Sky' by Wilbur Smith. It is a very good one. Delta Decision by him is also excellent. Haven't read them in years, though. | |

| How about Reacher movies based on the Lee Child books? OMG, they would be awesome! But who could they get to play Reacher? I'm thinking maybe Daniel Craig.

| My Grandfather's Son. Clarence Thomas talks about his childhood all the way to his nomination to the supreme court. Awesome read, nothing like I expected.

| I had never heard about these books. I just went and read about them including an excerpt from Bad Luck and Trouble. I am intrigued. I will probably read these books. Thanks for posting about them. |

| PM me your address and I'll send you one of his books to try. I've read every one of them and they are all addictive and terrific. I don't want the book back, I always pass my books on to other people.
