vezza is a loner

Decline and Fall, Evelyn Waugh.

Nana, Emile Zola

Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy

Books on my shelf that I’d like to read properly once and for all before the films come out

Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy

The Great Gatsby, F Scott Fitzgerald

On The Road, Jack Kerouac

Books I’d love to re-read before the film comes out

Jane Eyre, Charlotte Bronte

Books I wish I’d never read but will be happy to see the film, I guess

The Devils Double, Latif Yahia

One Day, David Nicholls

Books I’ve read recently which were unexpectedly dramatised on the bbc, giving rise to a mild interest in the 2 sequels

Case Histories, Kate Atkinson

And this is someone who is averse to critical discussions of “adaptation”.

I think when it really comes down to it, I mean if I really had ta had ta choose, I’d say I was more a book person than a film person. I wish I read more. There, I said it.

Now, where’s my rabbit-nibbled Nana? Gotta love Zola but I can’t say I’m not intruiged to see the Martine Carol film!
