Book
I Know This Much Is True
very long read, complex story. my favorite book. before i even finished reading it i knew i’d decide to read again one day. without spoiling i’ll say it involves twin brothers and absolutely expanded my perspective of love…was made into a limited series as well, which is fun
Films
Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022)
The Half of It (2020) this is such a wonderful movie and explores various forms of love. quite beautiful

Sometimes the book is better.
I watched The Goldfinch movie and, honestly, it wasn’t great. I later read the book, and to this day it’s one of my favourites.
Sometimes the movie is better.
Didn’t even finish reading Call Me By Your Name, but the movie was decent.
Sometimes both are great.
Fight Club!!
My point is that either way it’s difficult to judge something fairly unless you have read the book and watched the film.

I read this one a few weeks ago, but wanted to wait until I saw the movie before diving into my thoughts. Both start extremely similar, down to some exact word-for-word scenes, and the plot points are all the same, but the movie takes some creative license to show what’s going on for the main characters mentally that the book doesn't. This works in favor for both the book and movie. In the book's case you're left guessing, confused, and trying to pick apart every tiny detail til the very end. The author is continuously sneaking small details/hints past you without raising alarm, and at the end I found myself looking back to see a whole different story. This isn't to say I didn't see the twist coming, but it was done in a way that left plenty of good stuff to pick apart after you‘ve finished.

It’s the only one that comes to mind. It’s a movie and a book.

This takes less than a minute. I do this mostly when I’m in nature or other beautiful surroundings. I say one thing I observe in the environment for each of the five senses. For example, I smell the salty ocean air, I feel the breeze on my face, I hear the birds singing, etc. Doing this causes me to slow down and really take in the present moment.
