25 Best Book to Film Adaptations

The full Harry Potter series is on this list. Obviously whoever came up with the list never read the books. I won't go to them anymore they are so far afield from the core direction of the books its not even good enough to be pathetic.
And LOTR was lower on the list than HP. For me, the Telegraph is now a source to be avoided as this list is prattle.

Books you should read if you want to consider yourself well-read

Found an "oopsie". An American Tragedy was written by Theodore Dreiser. So change #161 somehow.

Books I've read from "Books You Should Read If You Want To Consider Yourself Well-Read"

Just what is the origin of this list? I've found 1 error and corrected it.
An American Tragedy is written by Theodore Dreiser.

Pulitzer Prize Winners - Fiction

For the ones I put down I may try again if I can find them as audiobooks from a library. I'm able to read Jane Austen that way. Otherwise, I can't stand it. Got through Emma that way and actually enjoyed it a bit.

You need to add 8th Confession. Also, are you reading thee at the same pace I am? I just finished 3rd Degree! Yes, I'm teasing. Poor Jill! I cried.

Hmmm. I always thought it was like any professional orgainzation. You pays your membership fees and you're in. But the fees, I figured, were high. Very high.

2009 Reading Log

The only way I was able to get through Don Quixote was to listen to an audio e-book. My public library has a couple of services for e-audio books, so I didn't have to buy it. I'd never have made it through reading the book. Same for Emma by Jane Austen.

My favorite so far this year is The Golden Cord by Paul Genesse. I'm considering reading it again. Its part of a series and book 2 just came out. I rarely purchase books, but I purchased these. Highly recommended if you enjoy fantasy and young adult fiction.

Songs With Women's Names in the Title

There is a question whether it is Ode to Billie Joe or Billy Joe, but whichever, Bill? Joe is male, not female. Several times referred to as "he" or "him" in the song.

So it needs to be removed.

Listology 2.0 Sneak Preview

I tried searching a book that I knew was in several lists in my content. It took 3 whole clicks to get to exactly what I wanted. I'm thrilled! This is exactly what I needed. So it takes a few extra clicks, I just think of those extra calories I'm burning and celebrate.
