I have read that the estate wasn't 100% pleased with the first film version, precisely because it wasn't so dark and forth.

Originally Posted By Jafar30 I'm reading The Stand. About 450 pages or so into it. It's very good I really like it. I'm continuing to look over Of Mice and Men for the book club. And I'm probably going to start Dragons of Autumn Twilight from the Dragonlance Series. It was always a favorite of mine as a kid.

Originally Posted By TiggerPooh1973 I am waiting for my copy of "Of Mice and Men", it's not here yet.

It's written from Genevieve the Papillon's perspective, very cute.

Originally Posted By smeeeko finished my copy Of Mice and Men last night! =) Had alredy started "Blue Latitudes" so I'm still reading that one; and added "Keeping a True Lent" for daily Lent meditations. (I'm giving up red meat which is harder than I thought it was since I didn't realize how much pastrami & cheeseburgers I am addicted to!)
