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 (http://www.mediasoft.it/dante/):

Even if I have only written 1/3 of the book that was translated to our second language, "nynorsk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nynorsk)".

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

[jabo]

what was the original language anyways? any movie made out from it. I'll check it out.

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.

Unfortunately in Italy we must read parts of it at school: that makes it very boring and discourages everyone to try it ever again. :(

I like Abraham - lube production and crime and punishment by Dostoevsky also a want to remember impressed me allot.

JK Rowling - Harry Potter I really like the story of HP can't wait to see the book 6 and 7 in movie...

[MarcieZoob]

A River Runs Through It - The book was fabulous but the movie was much more emotional due to the scenery and expanse of the shoot in Montana. I actually love the movie over the book.

anyone read the novel twilight? it was awesome, when I saw its movie, it wasn't that great...

[WickedGoddess]

^ I've read the novel, the first part yeah... new moon, this weekend.

The movie is great tho some parts are missing if you read the book. Well for me, they still gave justice to it and right now, all I'm thinking is the live action of the 2nd book:)

Joanne Harris wrote "Chocolat," which was of course made into a movie starring Johnny Depp. Usually, the book is better than the movie but not in this case. The characters in the book weren't as likable as they were in the movie. I also like the ending in the movie better than the book as well.

J.K.Rowling's Harry Potter series. They are the best books till date (of course, in terms of popularity).

[kirsky]

[greggasket]

Lord of the rings by J.R.R. Tolkien.

[Jaanv711]

These two authors are my favorite.

Nicholas Parks = A walk to Remember, Message in a Bottle and Nights in Rodanthe
John Grisham = The Firm, The Runaway Jury

I usually prefer to read books and I think that books are usually better than films.

The True Blood series by Charlaine Harris is awsome, though its not actually a movie but a series on cable

[davaoprojects]

J.K.Rowling's Harry Potter series. They are the best books till date (of course, in terms of popularity).

Harry Potter books are timeless! I first read Harry Potter books 1-6 when i was in high school and i thought i liked it just because i was a kid back then who enjoyed magic and stuffs.. But when i read the Deathly hallows just this year (after 4 years in high school), i am still amazed by the world Harry and his friends lived in.. It's not just for kids; it's story reflects the realities of life like friendship, love, greed, sacrifice and even politics! But the movies are not just easily understood especially by those who haven't read the books!

I had read somewhere that Avatar is going to be released as a book. Is this news right?

[charityblake]

Stephanie Meyer. I like romance novels that she wrote, Twilight Series. She's got so many fans from around the world since become one of the bestselling book. Her writing is very detail describing the story, plot, space, place and time of occurrence.

[Sandra Thomas]

The Kite Runner is the one which i liked the most.
