Books into Movies

Book Club Buddies have read many books that have been made into movies. It is always been fun to take a field trip to see the movie after the book club discussion.


One of our earliest and my most favorite book-to-movie was: Like Water for Chocolate: A Novel in Monthly Installments with Recipes, Romances, and Home Remedies, by Laura Esquivel




Like Water for Chocolate, the movie - I remember there were 5 of us who drove into Chicago to see the movie, it had not been widely released yet, and it was in Spanish with English subtitles! We read each other exerpts from the book in the car on the way into Chicago. We giggled like high-school girls during the steamy parts of the movie, the other people in the theater must have thought we were really wacky! It was soooo fun!

What were some of the others? 

The Hours, by Michael Cunningham


 

Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austin at Nancy's house!
