Follow Friday (2) and Book Blogger Hop (2)

This is my second Follow Friday (hosted by Parajunkee) and Book Blogger Hop (hosted by Crazy for Books).

This week's question is:

How many books do you read in a week?? And in what format do you read them, or listen to them?

Umm, it depends on the week, but I generally read two or three books a day (depending on the length or how un-putdownable they are), so I would have to go with about 12 books a week. (There are some days when I am too busy with school/family/other stuff to read much at all.)

I read most books in paperback and hardback, but I have a PC Kindle as well as an Adobe Reader (also PC) that I read maybe two or three books a week on.

This week's question is:

What book-to-movie adaptation have you most liked? Which have you disliked?

I really like the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings adaptations, as well as both the Pride and Prejudice mini-series and movie. I actually liked the Stardust movie adaptation better than the book (which hardly ever happens with me!).

I really didn't like what they did to Eragon. It was a really fun book and they completely destroyed the story in the movie. Another awful adaptation would be The Seeker, based on The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper. It was a marvelous book and they mangled it. There are quite a few movies in the works for books that I am interested in (Mortal Instruments, Hunger Games, a new Captain Blood, The Hobbit, Airborn, etc., etc., etc.) and I really hope they do a good job on them. They should know by now that people don't like it when their favorite stories are messed up.
