Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about movies based on books…

What happens when you see a movie based on a book/story, especially one you’ve not read? Do you feel the need to track it down and read it?

Usually if I can help it, I do not see a movie if I have not read the book it is based on. However, if I see one that I did not know was based on a book and find out it was you betcha I find the book and read it if I like the movie anyways. For the most part, I have found the movie is usually not as good as the book; it is hard to fit long books into 2-hour movies. However I try not to judge.
