The "GO BAG" Book When sailors set out to sea, they have a "go bag" that is always ready to be grabbed in case one has to abandon ship. As readers, wouldn't including a book be as important as the other necessities? So assuming you were lost at sea for a month or more, which book would you bring? Assume the book would be re-read several times. |

Movies from Books Everyone knows that reading a book is better than seeing the movie -- but not always. Do you have a recommendation or a BEWARE for a book turned movie? |

Directors & Writers Lots of people follow actors and will see a movie based on who is in it. Some people for directors & writers. Is there a director/writer whom you faithfully see his or her films? |
