Hmm, good or bad?

morganskyeI splurged and went to the bookstore at lunch. I picked up 'The Devil Wears Prada'. I had heard good things from some friends about it and figured it was worth a shot. Checkout goes something like this:
Clerk: A lot of people have been buying this book.
Me: That would be why it's on the best seller list.
Clerk: I thought it was because they're making a movie from it.
Me: *goggles* They are? Damn.
Clerk: ???
Me: I hate it when they make movies from books. It ruins the book. Like 'Memories of a Geisha'. *babbles on*
Clerk: Wow, you're hardcore about it...
Me: *snicker* You haven't worked here long, have you?
Yes, I had no clue they were making a movie from this book. And yes, I can actually enjoy book-based movies. I treat them like fanfiction. Sure, it's not totally right but they usually get the good points down. Usually. And I really did have to laugh at the guy. I'm in enough that the regular clerks know me at least by sight. When they re-arranged the store one of the girls laughed at me because I went straight to the manga section, even though it was now on the other side of the store. I'm such a 'tard.
