On Display: Based on a Book

How many times have you said to yourself...

- "I need to read that book before the movie comes out!" - "That was a great movie, I really should read the book." - "They're going to turn that book into a movie? Really?"

Thus, the inspiration for our latest book and film display: Based on a Book. Not unexpectedly, the Based on a Book display includes well-known classics and best-selling works of fiction and nonfiction that have been adapted for the big screen (in some cases more than once), but there are also some book/movie pairings that you might find surprising.  For example, did you know that the sci-fi classic Blade Runner was based on a novel called Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick, that Rosalind Wiseman's sociological look at the world of teenage girls - Queen Bees and Wannabes - was transformed by Tina Fey into the comedy Mean Girls, or that the award-winning movie The Social Network was based on Ben Mezrich's book, The Accidental Billionaires? Come take a look at the numerous book and movie choices, we're sure you'll find something that you've been meaning to read or see.
