Breakfast at Tiffany's

I read Breakfast at Tiffany's today.
What an amazing story!

The movie, though beautiful is, of course, a pale shadow of Truman Capote's tantalising bittersweet story.

I love to read such brilliant works, but I hate the way they make me realise what a hopeless artist I am. [sigh]

That's a good point you made about movie culture feeding back into books, I guess this is happening with "Howl's Moving Castle" as a lot of people are reading the books to catch up with the places the movie glossed over or left out entirely--part of the drawback of translating to screen, I guess.

In non-English speaking countries, pretty much the only English books available are movie-linked ones, unfortunately I've already read most of them. True, you can't deny the exposure movies bring.

Conversely, with the whole HP phenomenon, the books themselves were so popular that I belive the movies actually stopped some people from reading them.
