In other words, I think you only listed ten, of which I would firmly dispute 4 and where most of the other 6 are not worth reading in the first place. Fight Club, however, is a valid choice, so you did "name one" as I asked.


If the book is "not worth reading" and the movie is decent, then the movie is better than the book. Not liking the answers given doesn't mean you get to change the criteria retroactively. :)
I am made of poison.

I refuse to watch film versions of books if I can help it - 14/12/2010 01:20:21 AM 1269 Views
I generally agree, but sometimes the movies are better than the books. *NM* - 14/12/2010 01:27:44 AM 733 Views
Most of my favorite books are unfilmable. *NM* - 14/12/2010 01:40:04 AM 714 Views
Just like Watchmen! *NM* - 14/12/2010 02:46:14 AM 707 Views

Lots of poor movies there - 14/12/2010 10:48:59 PM 1287 Views
Yeah, I don't know how any movie could be as bad as that book. *NM* - 15/12/2010 08:06:20 AM 863 Views

Question: Can books count for multiple challenges? *NM* - 14/12/2010 09:34:28 PM 799 Views
Preferably not. But we can be tolerant if you're running out of time. - 14/12/2010 09:49:26 PM 1247 Views
So... - 15/12/2010 04:13:27 PM 1526 Views
A single book can count for many things... - 15/12/2010 04:17:59 PM 1399 Views

Dirty half dozen and genre challenges for me - 17/12/2010 12:14:00 PM 1306 Views
I think that would definitely qualify. - 17/12/2010 09:07:28 PM 1361 Views
