Oh wait…I forgot.

A few days ago, The Huffington Post published a list of The 10 Most Anticipated Book Adaptations of 2012. What’s funny is that I’ve read most of them fairly recently, and I’ve blogged half of them.

Here’s the list:

1. Life of Pi: I tried reading it several years ago and failed. Maybe I’ll give it another try. I’ve heard it’s really good.
2. Cloud Atlas: My favorite book of 2010 – not that I read many books that year. It’s very Murakami-ish and very long. A movie version should be…interesting.
3. The Hunger Games: I read the trilogy last year and loooooved them. I’m really excited about this movie. The trailer looks good.
4. The Great Gatsby: I haven’t read it in a few years, but it’s one of my favorite novels. I’m not sure what to think about this movie because I don’t know how they can top the Robert Redford version. Also, I hear they’re shooting it in 3D, which sounds stupid.
5. Cosmopolis: Ahhh, DeLillo finally gets a book on the silver screen. Why couldn’t it be a good one? I didn’t like Cosmopolis at all.
6. The Hobbit: How can you not love The Hobbit? I just hope it’s as good as The Lord of the Rings movies.
7. The Wettest County in the World: Haven’t read it, hadn’t heard of it. No idea on this one.
8. Anna Karenina: tl;dr. I know I should. It’s been on my to-read list for quite a while. I don’t really care about the movie, though, because it’ll be like those Austen and Dickens movies I can’t stand.
9. The Perks of Being a Wallflower: The book is okay, I guess. I’ll probably see the movie once it comes out on DVD.
10. Great Expectations: See #8.

All of this means I might go to the theater a few times this year. I think I went once last year – I’m not a movie person. I’ll take a book any day. It’s just strange that I just read the novels to so many adaptations coming out this year.
