From Page to Screen

Did you watch the Academy Awards on Sunday night? It's an exciting evening of celebrities, gowns, entertainment, and awards. I enjoyed it until I fell asleep!

Did you know that eleven of the films represented through nominations are book adaptations? While you wait to check out the newest movies from the library, why not take a look at the books they're based on? I've only read five of them, but hearing about the movies makes me interested on the books they're based on. Here's a list:

The Adventures of Tintin by Hergé

The Descendants by Kaui Hart Hemmings

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Steig Larsson

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

The Help by Kathryn Stockett

The Invention of Hugo Cabret (movie entitled Hugo) by Brian Selznick

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

Moneyball by Michael Lewis

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy by John Le Carré

War Horse by Michael Morpurgo
