I love books.

Books. All those stories, just sitting there, waiting to be brought to life by someones imagination.
I just finished Robert Parker' s Widows Walk. I like his writing, The new Jesse Stone novels are very good.
I am always worried about seeing the movie of a book I liked. I was very impresed with the Lord of the Rings. Harry Potter translates well into movies, I quite enjoy them. I have high hopes for the Narnia movie, animation is a wonderful thing, and it should be fairly simple to transpose the storyline into a screenplay. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was all right, but it is so much richer in the book, the movie lost a bit. Congo was a letdown. That book scared me so bad, I should have been hiding under the bed after the movie. (And yes, scary movies still scare me if I know what is going to happen.) I hate horror movies where they have people doing dumb things. Oh my gosh, there is a noise outside the cabin-let's all run out in the dark! Sorry, I am staying inside and counting my bullets, identify yourself before you come back in!
