Over the years, I have read quite a few books that were made into films and some of them received an Oscar award or a nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay or for Best Picture or for Best Foreign Language Film. Maybe some of you have read them, too, and it would be nice ot talk about it and see whether we prefer the book or the film (although we probably all know the result of THAT discussion).
