A borrowed meme: What have you read?
I stole this meme from a friend's blog. OK, so now it's time to let the world know how much of a literary geek I am.
Instructions: Underline or put an asterisk next to all those books whose movies you have seen. Bold or highlight the ones you've read in a different color.
1. Heidi (Johanna Spyri)*(I've seen at least 3 different versions of this one)
2. Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen)*
3. To Kill A Mockingbird (Harper Lee)*
4. Gone With The Wind (Margaret Mitchell)*
5. The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (Tolkien)
6. The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring (Tolkien)*
7. The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers (Tolkien)*
8. Anne of Green Gables (L.M. Montgomery)*(more accurately, I completely wore out
my VHS copy)
9. Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bronte)*
10. Anne of Avonlea (L.M. Montgomery)*(I've seen this almost as many times as Anne of Green Gables. I feel like I should also add that I read the whole series, but I was extremely disappointed with the third movie.)
11.The Catcher in the Rye (J.D. Salinger)
12. Little Women (Louisa May Alcott)*
13 Wuthering Heights (Emily Bronte)*
14. The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe (C. S. Lewis)*(and loved it, I might add)
15. Chariots of Fire (Clarence E. MacArtney)* (also, played the theme song in several orchestra and band concerts--starting to wonder why I never read the book)
16. 1984 (Orwell)
17. The Count of Monte Cristo (Alexandre Dumas)*
18. The Grapes of Wrath (John Steinbeck)*
19. The Great Gatsby (Fitzgerald)
20. War and Peace (Tolsoy)
21. Quo Vadis (Sienkiewicz)
22. The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Victor Hugo)*
23. The Robe (Douglas)
24. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (Betty Smith)
25. The Story of A Soul (St. Therese)
Well, if nothing else, doing that did make me feel pretty well-read.
