Reading the Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I haven't seen the film, though the book is absolutely hilarious and will definitely be watching the film afterwards. I have a strict rule to never watch the film before reading the book, always book first if you want both. Lolita, An Education, The Great Gatsby, and The Picture of Dorian Gray are all examples of books I prefer to their adaptation. However, Wuthering Heights the television production wins purely because of Tom Hardy plays Heathcliff, as does Tess of the D'ubervilles due to Eddie Redmayne. I've also heard that the amazing One Day is going to be made into a film.
