Every year a number of books are adapted into movies, with mixed results. If you're a movie buff, treat yourself to the real thing. Read the books the movies are based on.
Some suggestions:
Shutter Island; Lehane, Dennis, Shutter Island
Charlie St. Cloud; Sherwood, Ben, The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud
Eat, Pray, Love; Gilbert, Elizabeth, Eat, Pray, Love
The Social Network; Mezrich, Ben, The Accidental Billionaires
True Grit; Portis, Charles, True Grit
The American; Booth, Martin, A Very Private Gentleman
Secretariat; Nack, William, Secretariat: the Making of a Champion
Dear John; Sparks, Nicholas, Dear John
So pull up the recliner, make some popcorn, and enjoy!
