  Day 7- Favorite movie adaptation of a book

I loved how the movie did not, if at all, stray from the novel.

Day 8- Favorite quote from any book

"The essence of the suicides consisted not of sadness or mystery but simple selfishness. The girls took into their own hands decisions better left to God. They became too powerful to live among us, too self-concerned, too visionary, too blind. What lingered after them was not life, which always overcomes natural death, but the most trivial of mundane facts: a clock ticking on a wall, a room dim at noon,and the outrageousness of a human being thinking only of herself. Her brain going dim to all else, but flaming up in precise points of pain,personal injury, lost dreams. Every other loved one receding as though across a vast ice floe, shrinking to black dots waving tiny arms, out of hearing. Then the rope thrown over the beam, the sleeping pill dropped in the palm with the long, lying lifeline, the window thrown open, the oven turned on, whatever. They made us participate in their own madness,because we couldn't help but retrace their steps, rethink their thoughts, and see that none of them led to us. We couldn't imagine the emptiness of a creature who put a razor to her wrists and opened her veins, the emptiness and the calm."

(The Virgin Suicides, Jeffrey Eugenides)
