I can really recommend reading books based on movies or series after you watched them. After I read the book With the Old Breed on which the HBO mini series The Pacific is based on, I realized I need to read a lot more books which became movies or series.

It was just so interesting to see all the details in which the series and book diverges. Might be obvious to some, but the series was very well made and everything was authentic. But in real life, some things that some characters did in the series were actually done by someone else. I guess that was done because you can't have so many different actors just for single scenes. Also, some relationships were overblown in the series (because they actually resemble multiple relationships IRL) and some weren't even mentioned even though they were very important to Eugene IRL, the protagonist.

Also, there was a scene in the series where Eugene meets an old friend from home who joined the Marines after him and they have a good and fun time. But in the book, they never met because Eugene didn't want to meet because the letter that friend wrote to Eugene sounded like he knows nothing about war. Which he didn't, just like Eugene didn't at first. Eugene didn't even reply.

I guess Lewis Carroll came up with these stories to entertain Alice and her sisters, but he was an educated professor, so he was aware of the literary traditions.

Yes. I never read them. I did watch a Lewis Carroll documentary. He was a strange guy. He got very close to the young Alice and her sisters. Some intimations of inappropriateness, but this could be layering a modern sensibility on what was an innocent relationship back then.
