I've been seeing this linked around lately: 15 Books to Read Before They're Adapted For the Screen
Kind of a neat idea, though the only one I've heard of (and read) is Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Anyone else read any of the others? Are they worth picking up and trying to read before they get adapted into a movie or TV show?

According to a quick google search it came out in March. I guess it's an old link.

Jumping is okay I guess, except when you go fast enough you can't see if you need to jump early into the window or late to the high building. I get stuck there too much.
Just like an std, will never fully go away.

Run into some newspaper stands to get yourself back down to a more manageable speed.
Police said they spent some time working out if they could charge the man with being armed with a weapon, as technically he was armed with part of a fish.

Apparently it's not an old link; I just found out they're currently making an American version of it. I guess it doesn't count as being adapted unless it's being adapted by Hollywood. *Is unimpressed*smiley_cow wrote:According to a quick google search it came out in March. I guess it's an old link.

Ebert himself said something like "See this before Hollywood gets its hands on it". I'd download it, but I find it to be a huge crapshoot downloading anything that requires subtitles.
