I love you all, we move from quotes to music to film so effortlessly. Wonderful. I will admit that when I have read a really good book I am often very disappointed in the film. A book gives you so much more opportunity to expand on a theme, use your imagination to build the character (who, by the way, never looks the same in a film. I mean I love Morgan Freeman but he is never Alex Cross - well in my mind, Alex Cross is much more Sidney Poitier)
Well, I didn't spend the money so it went into the respective pigs for future dreams.

It is Moo's birthday today - he is seven.

Happy birthday, Moo! Have a virtual bone, wrapped in crinkly paper that you can tear up and drive your human crazy!

I have the same problem with films - I may not be able to remember where my keys are or the ages of my kids but I can remember exactly the colour of a character's hair. It drives DH mad. :rotfl:

Also, who else 'hears' a piece of writing by someone who they have heard speaking in their voice? Sad, or what?

PS Sean Connery IS James Bond!

not sad at all, I know exactly what you mean. I also see a picture of the author and imagine what they sound like as they are writing. Yes James Bond - definitely should sound like Sean Connery.

Exactly as I imagined Alex Cross ! Have fallen out with James Patterson in recent years though, just too samey..

MrsMoo2U

who DC Morgan or Sidney? And yes I havent read any in a while. But then I was having this conversation the other day about when an author gets a book deal how they end up with a formula and after a few it becomes boring.
Currently i am reading Val McDiarmid but I had taken a rest from her for a while.
And then I love Cecelia Aherne for a bit of escapism girly reading when I am not reading my serious stuff.

Sidney Poitier Cheri, but his sidekick John Sampson I see as the guy who played High Tower in Police Academy ! Weird how the mind works.

Excuse me while I turn your thread into a reading review - Yep tried Val McDermid, have had a Lee Child phase, Celia is good, am actually a little lost at the moment after reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett. Agree totally on the JP thing, see he started it all over again with a new hero Michael Bennett, read one and it's all the same. Shame.

Hope Moo had a lovely day

Turn away all you like DC. I love books (see my first thread) but I have lost my way a little of late. Need to feed my passion a little I think. Yes I have read a few Lee Child books too. I also love Jonathan Kellerman. Not read any of his for while so I might have a look for one of those. Haven't read Kathryn Stockett though.
