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 generally agree, but sometimes the movies are better than the books. *NM*

Yeah, I don't know how any movie could be as bad as that book. *NM*

This is a really good idea. I like the challenges. I wonder if I can be arsed to do one. Or more. *NM*

Preferably not. But we can be tolerant if you're running out of time.

But the challenge-books can count towards the 50 and the book you'd been meaning to read.

Is The Road really a western, though? *NM*

true. Not so much, I just always pigeonhole McCarthy as a westernish writer. *NM*
