Sounds good to me! I can think of several books I would like to read that fall into that category. Great idea! :)

I would love to read "I am number four" I haven't seen the movie yet but we want to. I found these that I would like to read... "Dear John" "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" "The Lightning Thief" "The Count of Monte Cristo" "The Nanny Diaries" "I Robot" "Fight Club" "Cold Mountain"

I just saw "I Am Number Four" and it was pretty great! I'm waiting for the next one because the ending kinda hints that there are sure to be more adventures to come, lol. Is it a series? Or is there just the one book? I'm super excited to see The Hunger Games on film when it comes out too!(I have Catching Fire on my TBR shelf right now) I tried reading Water for Elephants and couldn't get into it, but everyone that has read it told me I should have stuck with it, hee hee, so I'd be willing to try and read it again. I like Amanda's idea of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, the movie was uber cute. I read the whole Percy Jackson series and LOVED them! And I also adored reading Fight Club (so much better than the movie!!). I would love to read Coraline (from Stephanie's mentions) and Stardust AND The War of the Worlds (because I've seen all of them, lol). I loved Interview with the Vampire (once again, book better than movie, somehow I can't get over the fact that Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt make AWEFUL vampires and it totally ruins it for me) and read the whole Lestat series from Ann Rice. Ok, my mentions...
1. Choke by Chuck Palahniuk (I have it on my tbr pile, lol, and the Fight Club mention made me think of it)
2. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button by F. Scott Fitzgerald (because I never finished the movie)
3. Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan (because I LOVED this book!!)
4. Derby Girl by Shauna Cross (because I LOVED the movie!!)
5. MirrorMask by Neil Gaiman (because it's Neil Gaiman, lol, and I want to see the movie)
6. The Road by Cormac McCarthy was pretty great (and I want to see the movie)
7. I Am Legend by Richard Matheson was brilliant! (the original The Last Man on Earth with Vincent Price is also brilliant)
8. Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See (on my TBR shelf) (is going to be made into a movie this year)
9. ATLAS SHRUGGED by Ayn Rand (I have Anthem on my TBR pile, and this is another of Rand’s dystopic fiction) (to be released)
And finally
10. Let the Right One In: A Novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist (because I own the Swedish version and have seen the American version too and I’ve never read the book)

Ok everyone, let's say you had to pick a top 2 from your list- what would you choose? I know that's difficult and there are so many great suggestions!! But in order to get a reading list together by this weekend if you could pick a top 2 from each of your lists, that would be great! :) Mine would be: I Am Number Four- and this is going to be series! The next book is "The Power of Six" and it's due out in late August. One Day- I have heard so many great things about this book from my friends, I think (hope) it would be an awesome read!
