As the books get bigger, the movies included less. It was easy to get the smaller books all into the movie but the last few movies have had entire subplots left out.

Still no takers for June?

If not, the book i'm picking is A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
http://www.khaledhosseini.com/hosseini-books-splendidsuns.html

One of the best books I have ever read and very worthy of a nice book club type discussion. So, if no one objects, that will be our June selection.

I own that shirt...lol

Oh.   :o

Haha.  Do you wear it, or is it more of a momento?  Just tell me you didn't wear it like right when the book came out.  LoL

I've never worn it haha.  I actually did get book six spoiled for me so that's kind of why I bought it.  (plus it was cheap, only 5 bucks at a Goodwill store).  I didn't get it until 2007..so quite a while after the book had been out :P

I saw this shirt once on threadless.com that was called Spoilt, and it had spoilers for everything... that one, Star Wars, Planet of the Apes, Dallas, Fight Club, A Beautiful Mind, all the classic ones LOL.  It was pretty funny.

I love the way that The Philosophers Stone movie is identical to the book, I'm wondering as the books go on, how they will differ from the movie.

I'm currently reading The Chamber of Secrets :)
