Reading Challenge Book Choices

After much deliberation, cogitation and inward digestion (as my history teacher used to say) I have come up with my list of 8 books and movies for the Reading Challenge over at Twobibliomaniacs

They are

Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen


Pavilion of Women by Pearl Buck


Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf



The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks


Theatre by  W Somerset Maugham ( film is called Being Julia)


The End Of The Affair by Graham Greene 


The Other Boelyn Girl by Philippa Gregory



And last but not least Empire Of The Sun by J G Ballard 

 

It was really hard to choose as there are so many book to movie adaptations and I wanted them all to be ones where I had neither read the book or seen the movie.

I am really looking forward to this challenge and I hope I can encourage some of you to take part too.

Happy Hump Day Everyone
