I am sick and tired of asking my friends if they have read a certain book and all I get is the typical “I’ll just watch the movie when it comes out” response. It makes me sick. The authors have spend time and money to get these brilliant ideas of mythical world across to you or even some brilliant murder plot in the latest mystery murder. All of that is squandered by my friends not taking the time to appreciate great literature. I know that Kenneth Branagh’s portrayal in Hamlet is spectacular but the actually play is superb and by far better then the movie… or any other rendition there of. Harry Potter makes good movies of course but the book involves you and put you in the middle of the action. There is a simple saying that I have and it is… Movies and Television Mini-Series give books no justice. I would like to see anyone read Lord of The Rings and tell me that the movies even painted one sixteenth of the book.
