I don’t have one I’m especially hoping for; maybe Cool Hand Luke. I’m not in the mood for a long read, so not hoping 2, 4, or 7, even though I usually enjoy Dickens.

I don't think I knew Cool Hand Luke was a novel before it was a movie! (which I've actually never seen, though I do know one of the famous quotations from it)
ReplyDeleteI think it may be one of those rare ones that the movie is considered better than the book, though I cannot comment. I’d say I’ll let you know, but since it didn’t come up as the spin number it will be a while until I get to it.
