If you're anything like me you'll love Nineteen Eighty-Four
(Animal Farm is also awesome)

I liked Animal Farm.
Also some mysterious novels are awesome such as The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Our English class during Freshman we read Animal Farm. We also watched the movie too.

Ender's Game is also a good book to read. The Alchemist is also a very good book.

As tourism is my hobby and I prefer to read books about tourism. These days I am reading a fantastic book “The Best Things to Do in New York” by Caitlin Leffel to know about the attractions of New York. It is nice and informative book and very helpful for those who want to go for New York tour.

If i get to New York sometime, Ima read this.

I've read all three. They are amazing books. Unfortunately, the movies, I feel, just don't represent the books well. I didn't get the same excitement.

The books most of the time are better than the movies.

Yeah definitely. Almost all the time a movie can not capture the true essence of the book. Hunger games is a true example of this. I was very disappointed when i saw the first movie. I felt that things were going too fast and little intriguing details were missed out. While reading the books i had goosebumps at some parts, imagining the horrors and creating the scenes in my head. Most of the depictions in the movie were pathetic and depressing to watch by a person who enjoyed the book. So anyone out there planning to watch the movie..please please read the book first.

Yes, movies will never really capture the whole feeling of a book for many reasons, but I personally feel that they people who made the "Lord of the Rings" made and excellent call leaving out Tom Bombadill entirely.

^Ouch. Tom Bombadil is the symbolism of pure innocence. Adam before the fall, since Tolkien wrote the books with incredible amounts of Christian symbolism. With that in mind, I see him as a perfect fit into the series and I am very sad he didn't make it into the movies. Especially the Barrow downs scene, as that ties into the fall of the Witch-King much later.

The last time I watched the movies was a couple of years back, but I too am disappointed with the non-inclusion of Tom Bombadil. I remember reading an article making a pretty good point that it is also implied that he is the very incarnation of Eru Iluvatar in the books.
