Summary

Annie is joined by guest Rebekah Arwood, manager of The Bookshelf in Thomasville. Rebekah and Annie chat about that ever-controversial topic: Is the book better than the movie? The discussion runs the gamut, from the newly-released Gone Girl to The Hunger Games, Great Gatby to Little Women (which Rebekah and Annie both identify as a wintertime classic). - Gillian Flynn wrote her own screenplay for her bestselling novel Gone Girl; here are more novelists that could follow in her steps. - We think Jane Austen would love both The Lizzie Bennet Diaries and Emma Approved, two web adaptations by Pemberly Digital, a company devoted to using new media to adapt classic works of literature. - The Bookshelf Film Society meets once a quarter to discuss the film adaptations of books; local film professor Lisa Mitchell guides the discussion each month. Join us!

1:16.4	I think those are your two favorite sections in the story.
1:18.6	Definitely.
1:19.6	Okay, Rebecca's kind of our middle reader guru I feel like.

1:27.2	So when Katie and I were talking about doing this
1:31.6	discussion about books and film.
