On The Road-Jack Kerouac

The Sea Inside

I read 2 chapters of 1984 during the geometry class.:eek2:

Charlie Wilson's War

Has anyone read Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh or Take A Girl Like You by Kingsley Amis?

I meant on the whole. I haven't seen all the films after Pixar, but some of them like Toy Story, Wall-E, Finding Nemo, Up and Monsters Inc. were brilliant. I haven't seen Cars, so I don't have an answer for that. Not each one of the old ones was great either. For instance, I didn't reaaly like Snow White or Pinocchio-well, I generally didn't like Pinocchio. But the last years, they are making films which aim to everyone and deal with serious issues, like Wall-E, so I think they deserve equal focus. About Lion King-Hamlet, what Book Jumper said. Now that you reminded me of Hercules...as a greek, I know the original myth and no one can deny that they Disney film had very little to do with it. But I can't say that it wasn't an enjoyable film.

Brilliant film. Batman Begins on Monday.

I'm almost in the middle of 1984.

Me too.

Basically, I've only read the original Little Mermaid and Hamlet, which inspired Lion King. I love almost all Disney films. There are people who complain about changing much the original and stuff, but they forget that most of the time the original material is not appropriate for younger viewers.

I understand you've read Pride & Prejudice many times? Wuthering Heights is brilliant;)

We watched Watchmen () and I thought it was brilliant, one of the best films of the year so far IMO.

Welcome Ned (it's from Edward right?)Welcome to the forum!

American Idiot by Green Day

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who enjoyed Twilight the film and then saw how the book was.

I haven't read the Godfather, but I absolutely loved the film!

I'm a 39 years old man who lives in a society where everything-even people's thoughts- is controled and he is struggling against that.

I think it gives a whole new level to the term "desperation"!

Read some more of 1984.

Welcome to the forum! I'm a fan of Jane Austen as well

No, right now I'm only reading books I' haven't read before.

I didn't really got the film, but I think I'll give it a try again sometime later in my life.

I started 1984 last night.

Well, some books contain lots of action, but other times is like the writer thinks that if he keeps writing and writing and fill more pages, he is going to make a better book.
