I'm a Foundation kinda guy,

themovieblog.com

It's getting harder and harder to be a fan of a series of books that can't be filmed. I was even reading Ian Fleming before there were James Bond movies.

Amongst my favorites that sold out to the "talkies",

Wizard of EarthSea
Narnia
Hobbit
The Ring Trilogy
Dune

All the great stories are in the flicks now...I remember leaving the theatre after the first Rings movie and hearing a woman say "It's over? Why is it over?"

Nobody reads books anymore.
