Do you know any adaptation of a movie that was better than the book?

I've come to the conclusion that reading 3 books at once is actually optimal for me when they are:

1. Thought-provoking/classic fiction
2. Thought-provoking non-fiction (usually theology)
3. Fiction that's basically the literary equivalent of candy.

It makes a nice balance.

@BooksellersNG Hey

@_classicbooks_ Wow

[femiiiiii. @femiiiszn]

there is something incredibly satisfying about reading the first page of a book, and immediately something in your brain sits up and goes 'oh, i'm going to like this' — and then every subsequent page proves you right.

@sacchiereads Any thrift bookstore recommendation for classics?

[samy @checheloks]

I agree

Homer and Dostoevsky have this in common: they describe human nature rather than moralize. And their descriptions, although couched in fictional stories, are devastatingly accurate.

This is what makes them superior to most writers.

@markemusgames Hi

[Joshua D Phillips @JoshPhillipsPhD]

How I first studied Shakespeare so I could actually learn it and understand what he was talking about:

1. I listened to audio versions of the play while following along with the text. Actors provide emotions/tone to help you understand the scene. This also meant I could stop when I needed to so I could look up words or context.

2. In a 3 hour play, I would stop about every 30 minutes and watch a summary or listen to a lecture about that section. Then continue to the next section.

3. Then I would watch a performance (usually on YouTube). Lots of Shakespeare performances on YT for free.

4. Now I can read entire plays or just certain sections, and I enjoy them. I actually know what's going on. I can appreciate the language (without wondering "What the hell does this word mean?")
