I read the BOOK, before or after having seen the MOVIE (/series)
I'll precise under each movie if I read the book before the movie went out or after.
Of course, some books are novelization of movies, so, they came out after the movie, but it's mostly the opposite, books adapted to cinema.
When a book as been adapted 1 billion times, I'll put only my favorite adaptation, or maybe sometimes the most famous, or the 1st, even if it isn't my fav.
Will see...
