11 in 11 Step Challenge Completed Category: 9x Films

Books adapted for the big screen, small screen and stage.

1. The Diary of a Nobody ** 1001 book
2. The Age of Innocence ** 1001 book
3. The House of Sand and Fog
4. The Rainbow ** 1001 book
5. Timeline
6. The Good Soldier Schweik ** 1001 book
7. Follow the Rabbit Proof Fence
8. The Tales of Beedle the Bard
9. Into the Wild

I was pleased to read 4 1001 books for this category, the best being The Good Soldier Schweik, highly subversive and amusing, the second would be Age of Innocence, beautifully written. As for the rest, I enjoyed the questions posed by Timeline, and re-entering the world of Harry Potter in Beedle the Bard. As for the worst, well, none were clunkers, I just wish that Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence had been fleshed out more, as I so wanted to know more about the story, as well as the author's own.
