Hunter S. Thompson goes gonzo in The Rum Diary. Johnny Depp brings another of Thompson’s creations to life, after doing Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

The Help is one of the most popular books, and movies, of the year!

For a legal thriller, check out The Lincoln Lawyer. Starring Matthew McConaughey and written by Michael Connelly.

Get your Canadian content fix with Mordechai Richler’s Barney’s Version, or the film starring Paul Giamatti.

One more for the ladies: Sara Gruen’s Water for Elephants, or the film with Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon.

And those are just a few of the books on film you can find at WSPL!
