Books & Television

When I think of the two entertainment sources that books and television are, I find myself thinking of them quite possibly as opposites.  This may just be me, but books just seem like something that is drastically different from television. And yet books are what bring about not only some of the most popular movies but popular television shows as well.  If you're thinking to yourself something along the lines of "what? what shows are based off of books?" then you have come to the right blog.  It just so happens that over the months of blogging endlessly about various of shows I have accumulated the knowledge of many popular shows that have indeed been previously written as a book.  It's crazy right? Not really. If you think about it, movies use books all the time because books provide really great characters, interesting story lines, and can create multiple sequels or in this case multiple episodes/seasons. And now what you've all been waiting for... here is the list of popular shows that have been based off a book:

Show:                                     Book:
Boardwalk Empire           Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic
                                                 City  
Bones                                    The Locator
Dexter                                  Darkly Dreaming Dexter
