Literature is one thing. I don’t want to be forced to watch a politically correct film interpretation of it.
Long ago, when I was ion high school, a bit over 60 years ago, we’d have an annual book fair where the kids could buy any one of a large selection of paper back books. “Little Women” and all of the George Elliot drek were the leading non-sellers.
Men please stick to watching football and sports..no need to watch a girly flick!! Believe me this flick has been recycled by HELLywood 4 or 5 times already!! They have run out of original ideas!!
I’ve had no interest in seeing the movie.
I read the book when I was a kid, and was enthralled. It was one of those books that one reads when young, and hates for it to end, because you’ve become enamored of the characters and didn’t want to leave them.
The next book I read that made me feel the same way was ‘Gone With the Wind’.
But the only childhood books that I remember and really want to RE-read, are the ‘Mushroom Planet’ books by Eleanor Cameron:

I’m not a man and I don’t want to see it. My teenage daughters saw it and one of them wants to take me to see it. She thinks I will love it like she did. I don’t have the heart to tell her that I never liked the book; and I will never turn down time with my social butterfly daughter. But I’m still not looking forward to sitting through it.
