Some of the bests books I have read, its sad to say, came from watching the movie. I would, as most readers I know, rather read the book first, but simply by accident I happened to see the movie and then searched out the book. One of these being, To Kill a Mockingbird. Somewhere around 1987, or 88, I was sitting up at 3am rocking a baby with an ear infection, and the movie came on. For fear of moving and waking a screaming child, I did not move to change the channel or search for the remote. I loved the movie and subsequently the book. The same goes for Lonesome Dove. Stretched out on the couch, I could not find the remote and was thinking I don’t like Westerns and found myself engrossed in one of the best movies I have ever seen. Robert Duvall was superb. The story was amazing. Never reading Larry Mcmurtry before, I , none the less searched out the book. One of the very few times, I think I like the movie the best. Simply because of Robert Duvall Tommy Lee Jones, Danny Glover, Robert Urich and a host of great actors. The story of retired Texas Rangers on a cattle drive to Montana. Awesome.
Tonight, I was playing on the computer when Revolutionary Road came on. I was not intending to watch it but found it interesting. I have, of course, heard of the book, but have not read it. Maybe, I will love it too. Tune in next time and I will let you know.
