Watch It
or read it? What's your preference?
I started reading a lot again about a year ago. It's amazing what you quit doing when you become busy with everyday life. It’s been nice to finally get in the groove of things after getting married and to again, find that little bit of peaceful time for myself that I get when I read.
I tried desperately, several times, to read The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
B-O-R-I-N-G!!!!! I was told that if you can make it to the middle of the book, it becomes much more interesting. I didn’t make it. I watched the movie. Rather, I read the movie. I had no idea when I rented it for $1 from Redbox that it was a Swedish film, subtitled in English. It wasn’t so bad that it kept me from adding the second of the trilogy, The Girl Who Played With Fire to my Netflix queue. Surprisingly, it had been dubbed in English. WOOT! WOOT! It sorta reminded me of the old, Planet of the Apes shows. The mouth moves and the voice is off and delayed. It was still a good flick. I have enjoyed both movies, FAR more than I could ever expect to enjoy the books.
I usually read the book before I see the movie and nearly always like the book much better.
Which do you prefer,?
Book then movie?
Movie then book?
Book only?
Movie only?
Lunch is almost over. Back to work.
