tarotgalOne of my "things" is to read a book and then watch a movie adaptation of that book for five books. I've done one and in the process of doing two more. But that leaves two vacant slots. Anyone have recommendations? It's got to be both a book I haven't read and a movie I haven't seen (so The Martian is out).

Mystic River, Casino Royale, and Field of Dreams are also good movies and books. I had a bunch of lazy English teachers in high school who would show us the movie adaptations of books instead of going over the books in their entirety with us so I've seen a lot of the classics that were turned into movies (as well as read the books).

Then of course, there's old movie classics like "Double Indemnity", "The Big Sleep", and "The Maltese Falcon".
I'm sure I can think of more later, but hopefully at least one of these will work for you!
