Some terrific books are coming to the silver screen. You can enhance your cinematic experience by reading the book first.
Fast Food Nation is based on the book of the same name by Eric Schlosser. It is one of the most fascinating and schocking non-fiction books I have read in a long time.
Fur: An Imaginary Year starring Nicole Kidman is based on the biography Diane Arbus by Patricia Bosworth.
A Good Year starring Russell Crowe is based on the novel of the same name by Peter Mayle.
Little Children starring Jennifer Connelly and Kate Winslet is based on the novel of the same name by Tom Perrotta.
Running With Scissors starring Annette Bening and Alex Baldwin is based on the book of the same name by Augusten Burroughs.
Infamous starring Toby Jones and Sandra Bullock is based on the biography of Truman Capote by George Plimpton. Critics say this is an even better portrayal of Truman Capote than seen in the film Capote.
The Prestige starring Hugh Jackman is based on the novel of the same name by Christopher Priest.

I'd like to see all of those except for "A Good Year," mostly because I just can't stand Russell Crowe .. One other book-to-movie transition that's coming up soon and I'm excited about is "Bridge to Terebithia" .. I just remember that book with such fondness from my youth, so I really hope they don't screw it up!
