It is time for another search of our TBR shelves/piles for those sadly neglected books from the past. Carole’s Random Life in Books is hosting this event.
Today’s forgotten book is another print book from November 2019: White Palace, by Glenn Savan.
I bought this book because I have the movie, and have really enjoyed it. In the movie, we get to watch Susan Sarandon and James Spader connect and bond despite their various differences. I fully intended to read the book sooner, but like most of my print books, I tend to ignore them in favor of e-books. Something I need to change!
Description: An urban tale of love against the odds, in which Max, an upwardly mobile copywriter and Nora, a 40 year-old waitress from the wrong side of town, become embroiled in a torrid affair.
Here is the movie description and cover:
White Palace is a 1990 American erotic romantic drama film directed by Luis Mandoki. It stars Susan Sarandon, James Spader, Jason Alexander, Kathy Bates, Steven Hill, Jeremy Piven, and Renee Taylor.

What book have you neglected? Do you ever pick a book because you have seen the movie?

I can’t say I do pick up a book because I’ve seen the movie. Often its the other way round. Hope you do get to this one when you can!

Thanks, Kathryn, and my usual pattern is to read the book first, but in this case, I am curious about how the book and movie will compare.

I think it will be, Sherry; the movie definitely was!

Somehow I never noticed the release of this movie or the book. Like you, I like to read the book first or sometimes get the book if I really liked the movie. Fun finding it on the shelf.

I can’t wait to see what you think of this one! I remember that I liked the movie. It was set in St. Louis where I live and they actually shot the movie here so there are some familiar things in it.

I liked that it was shot in St. Louis, too, Carole, even though I’ve never actually been there. But the scenes were lovely.

I somehow missed both the book and the movie but it looks like quite the read! I hope you enjoy it.

I generally don’t mix up my reading and film watching – but I’ve a roomful of neglected print books that I’ve abandoned because these days, I far prefer reading ebooks!

Yes, sadly, I have turned to ebooks more than print, although I keep buying print volumes to replenish my bookshelves! Thanks for visiting, Sarah.
