Question #7 says "Girl Interrupted"is based on a "memoir", not a novel. Therefore the answer is actually NO.
8/11. Only knew about half. Guesses on the rest
7 out of 11. Hey, that rhymed

8/11. I may be a bookworm, but I haven't read any of those.
You ought to read "Dances With Wolves". It's really good.

I've read "Silence of the Lambs".
Same...Actually I've read all of Tom Harris' Hannibal Lector books except the Hannibal Rising one...Took a break. The movies except Hannibal were very faithful(mostly to Ted Tally Oscar winning adapting!)

One flew over the cuckoo’s nest.

9/11! [appro score for today...LOL!!] Missed 6 and 10! Fun Fact: Nothing Lasts Forever was originally developed for Frank Sinatra! Can you picture Old Blue Eyes saying, "Yippie Ki A"...well, you fill in the rest! Another Fun Fact: Bruce Willis made his film debut in The First Deadly Sin, which was Frank's last starring role! And yes, THAT film came from a novel!!
PS Technically 7 should be NO, because by definition a memoir is non-fiction, therefore NOT a novel!
