Which do YOU prefer?

[Gwendolyn]

Movies and books are great, right? Well, if you had to pick both a movie and a book to be your favorite, what would they be?

My favorite book would have to be Stargirl by Jerri Spinelli or A Fine and Private Place by Peter S Beagle

My favorite movie would have to be Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

I thought that this would give people a chance ( especially readers) to try a new movie or book. I know I am always looking for more books to read....

[Gwendolyn]

Oh, I've done "some" crazy drugs.....I wouldn't say a whole bunch.... :alien: By the way...hunter s thompson is an awesome writer...the author of Fear and Loathing in Las vegas the book

[Truthbearer]

Favorite book: Catcher in the Rye

Favorite movie...that's a tough one: I have to say The Matrix takes the prize...followed very very closely by Fight Club...

Books take longer to complete but they are more rewarding :D

Once I think about it my retarded avator is from a movie. Can anyone guess?

My sentiments exactly.

Movies are a great form if you just feel like vegging out. But books, your imagination has to create the whole seen for you, which cannot be topped in a movie. (No one ever says the movie is better than the book)
favorite book - Intensity, Dan Koontz
favorite movie- Good Will Hunting

Book: God Emperor of Dune
Movie: Tough one so I'll pick the last movie I saw...Return of the King

[Gwendolyn]

You guys are picking some GREAT literature and Movies. Of course Truthbearer, I love both of your choices..Catcher in the rye and Fightclub? That's wonderful...i had to really narrow it down to pick just two...I'm glad mosst people like books better.

[Truthbearer]

Which reminds me I am about to order Fight Club, the novel by Chuck Palahuik. They say its better than the movie, and if that's true then I can't wait!!!!

When I get it I will let you know which one's best...

[Gwendolyn]

It's worth it.....I downloaded the ebook.....
I LOVED it. It's different than the movie, but it makes it all the more interesting. I'd like to read more by that author. It's a small file, if your interested, I Could probably email it to you....If you haven't already ordered it....if you are interested, my email is gwencinnamon@hotmail.com

Favorite movie? Dune, the David Lynch version, without a doubt.

As for a favorite book? I've read so many.... One that pops in my head is the Voyage of the Dawn Threader, by CS Lewis. I never get tired of reading it, no matter how old I get. :)

[Gwendolyn]

I loved Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Good pick!

[Truthbearer]

Thanks Gwen, that sounds great!!! I would be really interested!!!

I added you to my contact list on messenger, I don't know if you ever use it...I am on there most of the time

P.S. Where's a good place to download free e-books?

[Gwendolyn]

A good place to get free ebook Classics is a site called PDF Planet. Google search it and you'll get to the site. For other newer books, I usually just download them off of my Macintosh version of Kazaa( called Poisoned) as one would download music. You'd be surprised at what you'd find

[Truthbearer]

Cool, thanks for the tip....

[Gwendolyn]

You are very welcome

cathcher in the rye, great book!! when i had to read it in high school I rememeber that I couldn't put it down, had to keep reading. took me like 2 days to read. truth, whats up with evanescent owning you??

[Truthbearer]

When I first read it in high school I had finished half the book in like a day. Then I slowed down because, as dumb as it might seem, I didn't want to read more because I didn't want it to be over...

I guess I am very much alike to Holden...

P.S. I just logged in and saw his avatar. I have to hand it to him, he really did OWN me with it, there is no denying it. I found it to be pretty funny, actually, at least in the context it is in. Anyways, he has to take it down soon...
