• 1. "The Sound and the Fury."
Martin Ritt's 1959 version of Faulkner's
incomparable novel is long, painful -- simply
unwatchableThe only relief was a young,
striving Joanne Woodward. It's sad to think
that a whole generation judged an
extraordinary book by this film.

4. • 2. "The Great Gatsby."
Jack Clayton's 1974 movie of this literary
masterpiece was a critical and financial flop.
And with reason: Mia Farrow made a very
wan Buchanan. And Robert Redford was no
match for the amoral enigma of Jay Gatsby.

5. • 3. "The House of the Spirits."
The house of spirits was a film starring Jeremy Irons,
Meryl Streep, Glenn Close and Winona Ryder. The
only Latino actor I remember crossing the screen
was Antonio Banderas, and, speaking quite frankly
as a Latina: He made me cringe.

6. • 4. "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil."

7. • 5. "The Name of the Rose."
Dense and rich as Italian chocolate, Umberto Eco's
book was stripped of all its vitality, strangely
enough, in this all-action movie, a 1986
collaboration among French, German and Italian
filmmakers. Even the wizardly Sean Connery, as
Franciscan friar William of Baskerville, couldn't
resuscitate the corpse.

• Bridget Jones Diary
Bridget Jones's Diary is a 1996
novel by Helen Fielding. Written in
the form of a personal diary, the
novel chronicles a year in the life of
Bridget Jones, a thirty-something
single working woman living in
London. She writes (often
humorously) about her career, self-
image, vices, family, friends, and
romantic relationships.

9. • A Walk to Remember.
Nicholas Sparks begins his new
book, A WALK TO REMEMBER,
by promising that "first you will
smile, and then you will cry ---
don't say that you haven't been
warned.
Nicholas Sparks writes about a
young man and woman in 1958 on
the coast in Morehead City in
Beaufort, North Carolina. This is
the story of their first love.

10. The lord of the rings
The Lord of the Rings is a high fantasy epic written by a
University of Oxford professor J. R. R. Tolkien. The story
began as a sequel to Tolkien's earlier, less complex children's
fantasy novel The Hobbit (1937), but eventually developed
into a much larger work. It was written in stages between
1937 and 1949, much of it during the Second World War.

11. Fight club
Fight Club is a 1996 novel by
Chuck Palahniuk. It follows the
experiences of an unnamed
protagonist struggling with
insomnia. Inspired by his doctor's
exasperated remark that insomnia
is not suffering, he finds relief by
impersonating a seriously ill
person in several support groups.
Then he meets a mysterious man
named Tyler Durden and
establishes an underground
fighting club as radical
psychotherapy.

12. The Other Boleyn Girl
The Other Boleyn Girl is a
historical fiction novel written by
British author Philippa Gregory,
loosely based on the life of 16th-
century aristocrat Mary Boleyn.
Reviews were mixed; some said it
was a brilliantly claustrophobic
look at palace life in Tudor
England, while others have
consistently pointed out the lack
of historical accuracy. Even so, it
has enjoyed phenomenal success
and popularity since its
publication in 2002.
