Anne of Green Gables (And other works by L.M. Montgomery)

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

I have watched and own all of the movies, and own Radio Theatre's Anne of Green Gables. I really should read the books....shouldn't I?

You should definitely read all 8 books! They're great!

If you have trouble getting them through your local library, they're available to read online at no charge! \:D/ Check this site out for the links.

Why in the world did they go to Europe? :-k You're right... that doesn't make much sense. :noway:

I could go on a long rant about movies not following the book or real-life example that they are taken from. In fact, I think I will rant about A Little Princess. :boohoo: *heads off to make a new thread* :anxious:

My sister has most of the books and I've seen the movies. (I don't recommend them.)

I have enjoyed the books, movies, and the radio theatre. The key is not to read/watch/listen to the different versions close together. If I read the books, than watch the movies, I can't stand the movies. But, if I watch the movies after not having read the books for a long time I am able to enjoy the movies on their own merit.
