What was your favorite movie that was based on a book, and what was your biggest disappointment?

March 2011
March is the bridge month between winter and spring. In most parts of the country, there’s still some time to lay a fire in the fireplace and curl up with a book, but there are also days where you feel the sun shining brightly and a few birds starting to chirp, and you realize spring IS on the way. The clocks change this weekend, which means we get one less hour to read, but somehow the words "Daylight Saving Time" just seems to brighten my mood.
Beyond what you read with your book group for discussions, do you spend time during your meetings just talking about books you love?

Congratulations to all the nominees for the graphic-novel category of the Los Angeles Times book awards! The nominations for all the book awards, to be given out at the Festival of Books on April 29, were just released. Graphic novels continue to take on a bigger and bigger presence at the festival, so it’s nice to see the works getting recognized in their own category.
Coming out this week is I AM J, a story of a boy born in a girl's body and his journey of self-discovery. Also NUM8ERS continues in TH3 CHA0S -- Adam inherits his mother's unwanted gift and can see the date a person will die, only too many people to go unnoticed will die on January 1, 2027.
