Film Versus Literature

Nicolas Sparks is another author who found success in the same vein as J.K. Rowling. His novels are not for children as they are fictional love stories. Why I can relate the two is because of commercial success and their place as low brow literature. Most people can relate on some level to the natural topic of love. Nicolas Sparks tricks the reader into what Sprat says "It is now therefore seasonable for natural knowledge to come forth and to give us the understanding of new virtues."

The reader will come away from novels like The Notebook by Nicolas Sparks or the Harry Potter series misguided into believing they gained some meaningful knowledge. This is the power that Sprat was saying the prose style can have. Basic language is enough to clearly convey any story or message. Texts from J.K Rowling and and Nicolas Sparks are read so widely that they are very powerful in and of themselves.

If you have ever seen a the films about Harry Potter you can confirm that the legend is true. The legend says that the book is always better than the movie. This is especially true when the books were written so many years before. Sometimes the director of the film has a different vision for their work than the previous author and this clash can be deadly. The Notebook by Nicolas Sparks might be one of the few that oppose this position because the movie is the famous one. The book is so low brow that only a romance fiction lover would enjoy it. The movie is very captivating and a high percentage of people will cry when they see the ending.

Good Reads Versus Great Literature Considered - A Book Lovers Discussion

There is a big difference between a book which would be considered a good read, and what we consider to be great literature. After all, you wouldn't say that a work by Hemingway was a good read rather you say it is great literature. Today, when you hear booklovers talk about a good read, generally they are talking about a popular novel writer, and a New York Times bestselling author who specializes in writing thrillers, suspense, detective, or spy novels.

When we say it's a good read, we are talking about a book with a fast pace, lots of action, lots of emotion and drama, and a book that you just can't put down. In other words, we are talking about a novel that gets you so involved in the book, that you'd rather read it than do anything else, including sleep. A book where you just keep turning the pages and you just have to know what happens next, you just can't stop at any particular breaking point simply because one chapter has ended.

So, what makes it a good reading book? Usually, it is one where you, the reader, identifies with one or more of the characters, and you end up despising some of the others. Books and novels that make you think, or challenge your morality, integrity, or ethical fiber are some of the best. Throw in a little action, an interesting location, some historical fiction, or even an explanation of an area or endeavor of science, technology, or innovation and you have all the components you need.

Does this mean someone who writes great literature cannot write a good read? Perhaps, and perhaps not, but most of what we consider to be good reads today, are certainly not considered to be superb literature, although many of the top writers and authors of our time are exceptional at their trade. Indeed, I hope you will please consider this.
