Nero Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Didn't they make a movie out of the two book you bolded above Sumpta? Also, bolded is not a word apparently. Vienna Raszyn Warsaw Klushino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumpta Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Yes, funnily enough, now that you mention it, it strikes me that it was actually the same director who made both books into a film, and both starred Keira Knightley. The Pride and Prejudice film is big big no-no, though... the BBC series from 1995 is infinitely better. The adaptation of Atonement is a lot more enjoyable, but still, as is usual with book-film adaptations, the books are far superior to the films. Though I'd have to admit that in both cases, I read the book long before seeing the movie, so I might be prejudiced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frakir_staer Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Lord of the Rings is actually one book broken up into three volumes. I'd recommend that, Dracula, Dune, Watership Down, and Wizard of Earthsea. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man sleepy and blind in the eyes.Carai an Caldazar! Carai an Ellisande! Al Ellisande!If it's the thought that counts, why aren't humans innately telepathic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracion1 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Impossible to choose. I've read a lot of those and it's hard for me to pick a favourite. Having said that, Life of Pi was an excellent read.

Nom Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Lord of the Rings is actually one book broken up into three volumes. I'd recommend that, Dracula, Dune, Watership Down, and Wizard of Earthsea. LOTR is broken into six books, commonly collected into three volumes. It was written as a single book though. What I've read out of the list: Huck Finn Beowulf LOTR The Little Foxes (Why is this in there? Srsly) Frederick Douglass Benjamin Franklin Wizard of Earthsea List need moar [bleep]ens. I haven't read Oliver Twist though :( I've read other works that aren't on the list from some of those authors, like [bleep]ens, Achebe, Irving, and Hemingway.

Pkmastachaos Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I've only read a select few on that list.. But, I would recommend All Quiet on the Western Front. It's a good book, and even the movie was quite well done. History teacher recommended it, and found myself enjoying it. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faux Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Lord of the Rings is actually one book broken up into three volumes. I'd recommend that, Dracula, Dune, Watership Down, and Wizard of Earthsea. It's been published in just one book. People don't realize this, but the appendix in LOTR is like reading another book about Numenor. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harakiri Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Sadly, the only one I've really read all of was Dracula. But it was really good. My favorite classic was War of the Worlds though, Wells is my favorite sci fi writer of olde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michel555555 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 havn't actually read any of those ones either. The only thing I've read from that whole list is Anne of Green Gables. It was pretty good, but that was ages ago that I last read it. I've tried to read the LoTR series, but for whatever reason I just can't. :P I never get past this one certain point in it. I LOVE reading though. I have a LOT of books, just none that are on there. :P Wheel of Time, Twilight saga, the Inheritance sage (Eragon, etc.), Silverwing/Sunwing/Firewing/Darkwing... I realise this may be off topic but I really like talking about my books. :XD: loved the wheel of time its a shame that the author died before he could finish the final 3 [spoiler=click you know you wanna]Me behave? Seriously? As a child I saw Tarzan almost naked, Cinderella arrived home from a party after midnight, Pinocchio told lies, Aladin was a thief, Batman drove over 200 miles an hour, Snow White lived in a house with seven men, Popeye smoked a pipe and had tattoos, Pac man ran around to digital music while eating pills that enhanced his performance, and Shaggy and Scooby were mystery solving hippies who always had the munchies. The fault is not mine! if you had this childhood and loved it put this in your signature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
re4p3r1 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 out of that list, Dracula and Beowulf are both great but my favorite of all would have to be Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamtongirl Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Out of them.. Pride and Prejudice and Anne of Green Gables. We'll sneak out while they sleepAnd sail off in the night.We'll come clean and start over the rest of our lives.When we're gone, we'll stay gone.Out of sight, out of mind.It's not too late,We have the rest of our lives.
