"Favorite book turned into a movie"

One Day by David Nicholls

One Day isn't my favourite movie (see Across the Universe or Midnight in Paris), however, it happens to be my favorite movie that originated from a great book. Being madly in love with Jim Sturgess (Jude in Across the Universe), it's only natural I'd want to see the film One Day. (Not to mention, Anne Hathaway is one of my favorite actors). However, I usually prefer to read the book first, so I ordered from Amazon and read it. It was marvelous! It kept me hanging on to every detail and falling in love with Dex along the way. Recently, I finally got around to watching the film, and it was just as good, if not better, than the book!

I also want to read and watch The Help... any reviews?

"Favorite male character"

Ètienne St. Clair from Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

Oh my goodness. The way Stephanie Perkins describes and portrays Ètienne in this books made me fall head over heals in love with him. :-) He's British (with pieces of American and French thrown in) with messy brown hair who's hilarious, kind, and an artist. He's no doubt my favorite male character. :-)
