All that you say in the last post may be true but I don't think that
precludes anyone from trying (nor should it). As far as I'm concerned,
there is nothing that is so sacrosanct or untouchable, certainly no
written work, that deserves to be left alone lest the bad movie that
results from it "ruin" the reading experience somehow. Is a bad
interpretation disappointing? Yes. However, I think it then merely becomes
a curiosity or simply forgotten while the book remains in its original
form ready to enjoy.
