Let's Fall Into Books
(that have been made into movies!)
What should we read this fall? How about a book that has been made into a movie? Then we can all come back and discuss whichever movie/book combo we choose to entertain ourselves with!
Here are some ideas:

and a short synopsis of the book:
A zombie who yearns for a better life ends up falling in love with a human, in this original debut novel. R is a zombie. He has no memories, no identity, and no pulse, but he has dreams. He doesn't enjoy killing people; he enjoys riding escalators and listening to Frank Sinatra. He is a little different from his fellow Dead. Not just another zombie novel, this is funny, scary, and deeply moving
Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
