Books to film...

There are many books that have been made into movies. Recently, an article from the San Diego Union-Tribune had a list of movies that were better than the book. Two movies that made the list were The Godfather and The Birds. Check out the article for more titles.

Do you have a preference... the book or the movie? What is your favorite book to film? My favorite is E.M. Forster's A Room with a View.
