Check out these books that have been made into movies very recently.
On PBS’s Masterpiece Theater you can watch Jane Austen’s Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion this Spring. They will also be showing a suspenseful adaptation of The Thirty-Nine Steps, previously adapted by Alfred Hitchcock as well as a new adaptation of The Diary of Anne Frank in April.
At the movies you can watch the literary hero Sherlock Holmes, and rent Amelia partly based on S. Butler’s East to the Dawn: the life of Amelia Earhart as well as the epicurean hit Julie and Julia taken from such books as Julie Powell’s Julie and Julia as well as Julia Child’s My Life in France.
