Wednesday... Thursday... FRIDAY!!!
Where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday it was Friday and ROUTE 1 readers were answering the FRIDAY QUESTION. Perhaps the time has flown by because I am engrossed in a book. This week, fellow bookworms ponder the following query:
"What book would make a good movie?"
LAURA C. -- "Underworld," by Don DeLillo... I'm reading it right now. 400 pages down, 400-something to go...
MIKE M. -- "That Disgraceful Affair: The Black Hawk War" by Cecil Eby, 1973, set in northwestern Illinois and southwestern Wisconsin. I think this could be better than the movies "Little Big Man" or "Dances With Wolves."
BEKAH P. -- "Outlander." Hands down. A historical romance that includes men in kilts. Reading about it is great. Seeing them on the big screen would be heaven.
JILL H. -- Any Janet Evanovich book! However, I'd start with "One for the Money." Grandma Mazur will crack you up and I'm not sure who could pull off Stephanie Plum, be a sexy Italian like Joe Morelia and finally, no one would be mysterious enough to play Ranger.
INGER H. -- Cormac McCarthy's "The Road." It might be too harrowing for me to see it, but it would be amazing.
MIKE D. -- In junior high school, I read nearly the whole series of "Three Investigators" books. I think my kids would enjoy seeing the juvenile detectives on the big screen. Good, wholesome, kid-style adventure.
STEVE M. -- A detective book called "Hawksmoor" by Peter Ackroyd was excellent, and they have never made a movie out of it. A young Jeremy Irons would have been the architect, and maybe Bob Hoskins would be Hawksmoor. It is a must read, trust me. It is not pulpy detective fiction. The author spent months in the London Library learning to emulate Old Middle English for parts of the book.
ERIK H. -- Frederick Nebel's "The Crimes of Richmond City" would make a great film. A serialized novel published in Black Mask magazine in 1928-29, the story follows Richmond City Police Capt. Steve MacBride as he attempts to curb corruption that has spread throughout civic government, even influencing police decisions.
