The Talented Mr Ripley - the film was much better, made a lot more sense of the character and had more suspense.
Also Brokeback Mountain - film a lot longer and more detailed.

I think that books should have age restrictions on the same way films do. As it stands, any ten year old can walk into a book shop and but Fifty Shades of Grey and no one would be able to stop them. If they had age restrictions on at least children wouldn't be able to buy inappropriate books.

For my old book club, we started reading The Historian and I just couldn't finish it. When we met to discuss it, it turned out that no one in the book club had managed to finish it, not even the girl who had suggested it.

Ulysses by James Joyce. I did not like it at all. Writes like he`s on acid, I doubt that he was though. Terrible.
I agree - couldn't get further than a few chapters.

I have abandoned Death comes to Pemberley P D James but I will go back to it at some point I just have to be in the moood for it.
It took me a long time to finish this book. It was clever because it was in keeping with Austin's style but I didn't find it that interesting.

And Laure, who liked apricot yogurt and drank tea but not coffee and who had size six feet and who loved horses, who preferred plain chocolate to milk chocolate and had spent five years learning classical guitar but never played any more and was still sad that their pet dog, Poppy, had been run over the previous Summer...
...Laura, who slept curled up in a ball, who liked hot buttered toast and all the Indiana Jones movies but not Star Wars, whose first word was "dog", who liked the rain but not the wind, who planned to have three children, Laura who would be forever standing by the photocopier in the office in Parkside waiting for the stranger and his knife, waiting for the world to go white.
From Case Histories by Kate Atkinson
I love this quite because it shows all the small little bits that make up a person.

I love all of the Lannisters in Game of Thrones and Bellatrix Lestrange in Harry Potter.
