Who is your favorite book writer whose books have been made into movies? I like Nicholas Sparks The Notebook, Message in a Bottle and A walk to remember...

I love Sidney Sheldon. He is just too awesome and the movie Nothing Lasts Forever is really a killer movie. A must see. But well it's really up to you if you wanna watch it though.

Dante: Divina Commedia:

Even if I have only written 1/3 of the book that was translated to our second language, "nynorsk".

Must be great to read that book in the original language.

Whats the latest or last movie out of his books have you watched? Think the movie Message in A Bottle was able to portray every word and emotion in the book?

I usually like the novel than the film when it happens that an author's book is made into a movie. Let's take for example, the movie Like Water for Chocolate. The novel by Laura Esquivel is very sensual yet the movie would appear a slapstick comedy. Any Shakespeare novel-turned-movie also somehow erodes the concept of aestheticism portrayed by his written works.

anne rice-interview with a vampire, very good movie, although I liked the movie more.
