Today's reading highlights from Adaptations: From Short Story to Big Screen by Stephanie Harrison! "The Swimmer" by John Cheever is a story/film I vaguely heard about recently. I think my dad was talking about it. Regardless, it's one I have to watch now that I've read the story. Very sad.
"Memento Mori" by Jonathan Nolan was made into the film Memento by his brother Christopher. I haven't seen the movie, but the story seems to be like a weird combination of 50 First Dates and The Lake House.
And of course who HASN'T seen A Christmas Story based on "Red Ryder Nails the Hammond Kid" by Jean Shepherd? If you haven't, I hereby command you to do so immediately!
