Just try it.<BR/><BR/>I think your allowing yourself to be blinded by your love of books: there is much that books can do which cannot be achieved on film, but the converse is similarly true. Naturally a film version of a book is not by default inferior, and even a great book can be made more striking and emotionally powerful on the big screen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-35813768626915873682008-05-23T08:05:00.000+01:002008-05-23T08:05:00.000+01:00I think I could give you a good run for your money...I think I could give you a good run for your money books to DVD wise. Not at home at the moment, but since my intention was to post about this very subject, I shall do so this very evening. (Serves me right for being slow!)<BR/><BR/>As for whether one medium is the best - well, for the most part I would have to say that I agree with you. Books give more to the senses than a film does, and unless you swallow a book in a day (as I am sometimes wont to do) you can make it last.<BR/>There are some books that I would much rather watch the film of though: 'The English Patient', 'Gone With the Wind' are two that spring to mind!GlassCurlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07006992143355408956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-34005030442910076332008-05-23T07:24:00.000+01:002008-05-23T07:24:00.000+01:00The Godfather series were great movies but the nov...The Godfather series were great movies but the novel is wooden. Catch 22 a great book and lousy film. Rebecca a great book and a great film. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (aka Bladerunner) a great film and a great story with little relationship to each other!
