    I’m not a great fan of films, I’d much rather “see” the action inside my head, so I never enjoy it when books are made into films, with just the one exception – 2001, A Space Odyssey.

    I loved reading 39 Steps when I was younger and also loved the older version of the film

    I loved A woman of Cairo – one of the books I read and kept to read again.

    For me it’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the book and the film were both brilliant.
