I have NOT read the book. I OWN the book, but I have not read it...
Is it very different from the film? - Addison
It's been a long while, more than a decade I'm sure, since I read the book. From what I recall it's fairly close to the film, but I'd say the movie is better. I don't have a very retentive memory, which is probably one reason I can watch and enjoy the same movies again and again; with books, though, I'm a slow-to-moderate reader, so tend to not reread books much. (My husband, on the other hand, rereads books a lot but doesn't care to rewatch many films.)
Besty, re. Munster Go Home, yeah, I was checking out used availability on Amazon last night. Haven't ordered a copy yet but I sure will be soon. (Not the collectible $120 one though! Yikes! Under ten bucks is more my speed.)
"Guilty pleasures" -- I guess my definition as applied in the OP is a bit loose. Knowing that the hubby will not be quite as thrilled as me to see Pillow Talk yet again, I might feel a mite "guilty" to subject him to it. Thus a personal guilty pleasure. I also know he has great tuning-out ability, so I never feel too bad about it. Plus the deal is that I pretty much OWN the tv between 8 and 10 PM -- I told him it's a state law, nothing he can do.
