Feature and Follow Friday 9/30/11

Welcome to Follow Friday hosted this week by Parajunkee and Alison!

The main idea behind FF is just to go see a bunch of new blogs you may never have seen before, and follow the ones you like (and they’ll follow you back!) It’s a total win/win. Post your link i


This week’s question is:

What book that hasn't been turned into a movie (yet) would you most like to see on the big screen, and who would you like cast as your favorite character?

This is a really tough question, because I usually don't like the movie version that much when books are turned into movies, but maybe if I would be able to choose the actors, I'd like them better.

I have a lot of books that I really love that I don't think would make a good movie because of their length, or the complicated subject matter. I think in order for a movie based on a book to be successful, the book has to be short, or there has to be multiple movies per book so nothing is lost.  Also, the books I tend to like the most have a lot of inner diologue and unless, the movie has a running narrative you lose a lot of the oftentimes important and enlightening thoughts the character has.

So, I am going to choose The Shadow of the Wind  by Carlos Ruiz Zafón. My favorite character is Julián but I am not sure who I would want to play him. I will have to think on that for a while.

This Week's Question:

If you could write yourself a part in a book, what book would it be and what role would you play in that book?

My Answer:

I tend to want to be a warrior because I am so reserved in real life and I'd love to have any sort of super power. I think the idea is so empowering. So, maybe any sort of fantasy book where there are warriors and magic. Doesn't really matter which book. I guess if I'd have to choose, I would pick Eragon.
