What do you like more: the book or the movie?

It is very hard to say....Maybe it depends on how this work was made!!!

the latest book which I read, it there was The Picture of Dorian Gray. I read and in English and in Russian. even I watched the movie several times

Oh, I've read this book too. I've also watched this film. What do you like the most: reading a book or watching a film? Some people say that it's better for them to watch a film than read a book. They claim that reading a book may be little bit dull for them. Especially when a book has several parts.

"The catcher in the rye" by J.D Salinger

I saw this book in our university store ... What is its genre? Can you tell us a little about this book?)


I have read it,too. But i read it in the Russian version. This book is the story of typical teenager, it is about thoughts and problems of any teen. This book is worth reading . I hope i will read it in the English version.

I am at a loss! I have no thoughts in my head!Maybe it "The hero of our time", in my opinion. When i read this book i didn't get much pleasure. But when i watched the film! I was delighted!

What is about "Fight club" ? Book or movie ? I can say the book describes events more detail than the movie, but there are a lot of positive sides in the movie.

By the way, do you prefer to read in English or Russian ? How many books have you read in the English version ?

My last book was Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie. This detective is about Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot who investigated the crime on the Express in an exellent way as uasul.
I have never read detectives in english, it was my first time, and to tell the truth, reading such a kind of book seemed to me more exciting.
May be this kind of book is really for me.

The last book that I've read was Alice Sebold's novel "The Lovely Bones". This book is about a girl that was murdered while she was a teenager. After being murdered, she watches from her "own Heaven" how her family and friends try to move on after this tragedy. This book has a film adaptation that is directed by Peter Jackson. To tell the truth, I decided to read the book after I watched the film.

The last book I've read was one of the parts of "Sheherazade"s tales". It is very interesting, but a bit boring to read. The most part of the stories are based or religious and mythological motives of Eastern Culture.

In Vino Veritas...
