For the Love of All That Is Holy, Read These Books but Do NOT Watch Their Movies!

Look. This isn't to say you can't make a good adaptation off of some of these books. But these are, without a doubt, the greatest books that have inspired the worst film adaptations.
Please, please, read the book. Stay as far away from the movie as you can. I'm begging you.
