    Oh I'd forgotten about the Emma/Clueless pairing. Good list. A few match mine, but not many. Thanks for joining in my blogfest :O)

    Very cool blogfest. I do remember a few in which I liked the movie and hated the book, or vice versa. I tend to be behind in movie watching, so my list wouldn't be impressive.

    I haven't see Percy Jackson, but from what I've heard and read, making a sequel would be difficult . . . without recreating the whole thing. :P

    Hi,

    Can't say as I've encountered many of these, though the Kite Runner I did enjoy. ;)

    I enjoyed Clueless. I'm a Grisham fan, too.

    That's much longer than my list. Thanks for sharing! My post will be up later this evening.

    Nice list! I wasn't a fan of White Orleander either. Looooved Clueless, though.

    The only ones that I experience both book and movie were DaVinci (starts good but fizzles in both cases) and Catch Me If You Can. I did like the book of the latter. I read it over 20 years ago, but I remember it made a big impression on me, but the movie had more entertainment value.

    How could I have missed Sex & the City? I was a huge fan of HBO series, I liked the movies (the first more than the second) but I tried reading the book and just couldn't get into it.
