For Top Ten Tuesday this week, the theme is Freebie. That is, we can choose any theme we want. My theme is novels that were made into movies. In particular, I have chosen Merchant-Ivory movies, since they made many movies based on novels. I had seen several of their movies and had read a few of the novels but not as pairs. One of my upcoming projects is to read and watch them in tandem. I plan to start with Maurice—I had seen the movie years ago but did not read the book because strangely enough it was not available at the library or the bookstore (pre Amazon days). I am looking forward to starting this project.
I didn’t realize that merchant-ivory was a subgenre!

DeleteThey may very well be. I don’t think there is any other movie maker who made so many books into movies as Ismail Merchant- James Ivory duo.
DeleteI don't think I've seen any of these! Great list!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It worth seeing at least one.
DeleteIt is!
DeleteMaurice does sound interesting!
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
It is an interesting movie.
DeleteI've heard a lot of good things about Remains of the Day!
ReplyDeleteBoth the book and the movie are equally powerful. Ishiguro has written many books but Remains of the Day is his best.
DeleteI'm going to be adding some of these to my watchlist!
ReplyDeleteIt is worth spending time on one or two.
DeleteI am looking forward to reading your reviews to see how far do film makers stick to the original and how much they compromise for commercial reasons
ReplyDeleteMe too. This is an exciting project for me.
DeleteI hope that you enjoy your time reading and watching these.
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT for the week: https://readbakecreate.com/the-xs-ys-and-zs-have-it-ten-titles-starting-with-x-y-or-z/
I’ve seen a couple of these but not read any.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your #TTT
Remains of the Day is worth reading.
