Oh wow, I had no idea that Poor Things was a book! I saw that movie last week and absolutely loved it. I might try to read it now as well.

I’m also so curious how the director came across this novel. Did you ever see The Favourite? It’s also directed by Yourgos Lanthimos. He’s just so imaginative!

Yeah, it would be cool to hear from the director how he found it. I haven't watched The Favourite yet, but I want to now!

If you watch The Favorite, let me know what you think! I'd like to rewatch it as it's been a few years. And now, I'm wondering if The Favourite was also adapted from a novel.

Neither did I! I really want to read it now. Maybe I’ll offer it as one of the options for my next Read With Me series....

What a great list. I haven’t read or seen any of these. Should I read the books first? If yes, which one should I start with?

I haven't either!! I wish I had read Poor Things before seeing the film, because now I'm just so curious. I LOVED that movie. Next, I'd like to read Expatriates.
