Musing Monday is hosted over at Should Be Reading.
Musing Mondays asks you to muse about one of the following each week…
• Describe one of your reading habits.
• Tell us what book(s) you recently bought for yourself or someone else, and why you chose that/those book(s).
• Tell us what you’re reading right now — what you think of it, so far; why you chose it; what you are (or, aren’t) enjoying it.
• Do you have a bookish rant? Something about books or reading (or the industry) that gets your ire up? Share it with us!
• Instead of the above questions, maybe you just want to ramble on about something else pertaining to books — let’s hear it, then!
My bookish thought today is more of an annoyance really. Why does it seem so many people today do not realize that so many movies are made from books. I mean seriously LOTS of them are. My sister seems to to think most of them aren’t including some pretty epic ones that I thought everyone knew about like LOTR. So yeah there is my bookish huff today.
lol that irritates me quite a bit too!
I guess that nonreaders miss that aspect…and it’s their loss, isn’t it?
Thanks for sharing…and here’s MY MUSING MONDAYS POST
If there is a movie I really want to watch, I always try to find the book and read it first. The books are almost always better than the movies. Actually, the complement each other, if you take the time to read the book first. An example: I like the book “The Help” so much better than the movie, but I found both were good.
I guess most people don’t realize it because sadly. most people don’t read books.
Like Gigi Ann I try and read book before seeing movie. Same thought they usually compliment each other though I’ve only seen one movie I liked much better than the book and that was Tomorrow When the War Began.
Ops – and here’s my MM: http://daystarz.wordpress.com/2013/03/04/musing-mondays-mar-4/
