Am I dreaming? I just found out that I am going to a dinner party with authors Dennis Lehane and Joseph Finder. I am the back-up, back-up date for a friend whose first two picks (her husband and a charming, beautiful accomplished friend) fell through…I don’t mind being the A-minus list date – it will be such fun! It is a dinner set up through the Boston Book Festival – you can click through to their site. The second annual festival is October 16, 2010 and here is a video of highlights from the first one.
So – two constant and current loves of mine – books and food – what could be better? I know, the featured authors will be discussing how they feel about the film adaptations of their books! Really, this is too much – I am someone who always “casts” the book for a movie – (Note to Hollywood, I am available) and usually my book group does it together – and I have to say, we are pretty good at it.
How do you feel when a favorite books becomes a movie? Trepidacious? Excited?
I hope you enjoyed the dinner/authors…
Have you read Dennis Lehane’s Mystic River?

What a fun event!
I usually don’t like the film adaptation, though how strongly I dislike it depends on what they do to it.
Oh, and I’m stopping in to welcome you to SITS!
Thanks for stopping by and for the nice welcome!
