5 Book to Movie Adaptations I’m Most Excited About

Our Choices

❧ Kim … It was actually the buzz about the movie adaptation that clued me into the book, Red Sparrow, Jason Matthews and now I want to read it. I’m kind of a sucker for spy thrillers.

In present-day Russia, ruled by blue-eyed, unblinking President Vladimir Putin, Russian intelligence officer Dominika Egorova struggles to survive in the post-Soviet intelligence jungle. Ordered against her will to become a “Sparrow,” a trained seductress, Dominika is assigned to operate against Nathaniel Nash, a young CIA officer who handles the Agency’s most important Russian mole.

❧ Tanya … I’ve been meaning to read The Dinner, Herman Koch forever, and now I’ve finally put it to the forefront.

It’s a summer’s evening in Amsterdam, and two couples meet at a fashionable restaurant for dinner. Between mouthfuls of food and over the polite scrapings of cutlery, the conversation remains a gentle hum of polite discourse – the banality of work, the triviality of the holidays. But behind the empty words, terrible things need to be said, and with every forced smile and every new course, the knives are being sharpened.
