Coming to a Theater Near You is a new monthly feature to highlight novels that are being released to the big (or small screen) in the coming month. Due to my enjoyment of reading the book before the movie I also plan on using these monthly posts as a list of books I’d like to read in the near future (preferably before I see the movie of course)!
Date Read Ramin Bahrani In a terrifying care-free future, a young man, Guy Montag, whose job as a fireman is to burn all books, questions his actions after meeting a young girl...and begins to rebel against society.
Date Read Edward Berger Get ready for the lowdown on the British upper class. This five-part limited series based on the acclaimed novels by Edward St. Aubyn tracks Patrick from a privileged but deeply traumatic childhood in the South of France through severe substance abuse in his twenties in New York and, ultimately, toward recovery back home in Britain. At once harrowing and hilarious, Oscar® nominee and Emmy® winner Benedict Cumberbatch stars as the troubled titular character.
Date Read Dominic Cooke Based on Ian McEwan's novel. In 1962 England, a young couple find their idyllic romance colliding with issues of sexual freedom and societal pressure, leading to an awkward and fateful wedding night.
Patrick Melrose looks interesting!
