Book to Screen in the Leisure Lounge

Finding yourself with a lot of extra time this summer? Really looking forward to seeing a movie, but want to read the book first? Feeling like getting some reading in before your Oppenheimer/Barbie double feature?

Come on by the Leisure Lounge and check out our suggestions from recent adaptations to old favorites! You can find the leisure lounge on the fourth floor near the printers, with tons of comfy couches for resting on.

 

Some suggestions from us:

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky (for a throwback)

My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante

Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie

Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng (a repeat, we know, but we love her for a reason!)

Howards End by E.M. Forster (for those who love period pieces)

A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman (you may know it as A Man Called Otto, featuring Tom Hanks)

Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann

A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness (for people who always wanted an adult combo of Twilight and Harry Potter)

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott (another Greta Gerwig creation)

Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice (get started on the Anne Rice extended universe)

Wicked by Gregory Maguire (coming next year, but we can get excited about it now)

Lord of the Rings by J.R.R Tolkien (whether you liked the old movies or the new show)

The Tender Bar by J.R. Moehringer (starring Boston area native Ben Affleck)

The Color Purple by Alice Walker (coming later in 2023 and starring Halle Bailey of Little Mermaid fame)

Happy reading/streaming/movie-going!
