It's Friday again, which means it's time for Follow Friday. To join the fun and make now book blogger friends, just follow these simple rules:
- Follow the Follow My Book Blog Friday Host (Parajunkee) and any one else you want to follow on the list.
- Follow the Featured Blogger of the week - Erika at Let's Talk About Books.
- Put your Blog name and URL in the Linky thing.
- Grab the button up there and place it in a post, this post is for people to find a place to say hi in your comments.
- Follow, follow, follow as many as you can, as many as you want, or just follow a few. The whole point is to make new friends and find new blogs. Also, don't just follow, comment and say hi. Another blogger might not know you are a new follower if you don't say "Hi".
- If someone comments and says they are following you, be a dear and follow back. Spread the love . . . and the followers.
- If you want to show the link list, just follow the link below the entries and copy and paste it within your post!
- If you're new to the Follow Friday Hop, comment and let me know, so I can stop by and check out your blog!
I don't think anyone will be surprised by my love of all things Tolkien, and normally I would pick Karl Urban as Éomer because Éomer is my favorite character in the Lord of the Rings, but in the movies his role was truncated so much that I just can't pick him for this. I suppose I could transfer my loyalties and pick Miranda Otto as Éowyn, but Éowyn's dialogue with the Witch-King was so butchered in the movie version of Return of the King that I can't bring myself to do that. The real problem for me is that most of the books I really like either have never been made into movies, or they have been made into awful movies (like David Lynch's Dune, which was a truly terrible movie made from a truly incredible book), which means most of the characters I like either have no on-screen counterpart, or their on-screen counterpart is handicapped by being in a terrible movie.
But right now I'm at InConJunction. So I'll have think about this some more and figure it out later.

It's tough to find a really good book to screen adaptation. The problem is that they take 15-30 hours of reading and condense it into a 2 hr movie. Too much has to be cut out. Have you watched Game of Thrones on HBO? So far it is my absolute favorite book adaptation.
