To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
I'm actually liking the book, to my surprise.

I've been reading a collection of things like
Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy
and the biography of Carole King, Carly Simon, and Joni Mitchell
I think it's called 'Girls Like Us' or something like that...

Of course. Unless the book is bad. And so far, I have yet to see a good adaption of a bad book.

The Godfather is an obvious choice to me, although the story is good, Puzo's prose is awful.
