To find writers with same initial as mine has proven to be an incredibly hard chore to do. It's quite maddening and appalling to see that there aren't many writers who share my initials or lest one of my initials. Maybe, this means I have to spend more time analysing the book shelves of the library quite carefully without brooding over.

If you're looking for a book turned into a movie, you can't find much better than Unbroken. (I have not seen the movie). (As a warning, I was crying for a solid couple minutes after finishing the book, so proceed with caution.)

List Updated! *reminds other minions to do the same* =)

Putting Emma down as 'turned into a TV show', which I think counts well enough. Between the miniseries, Clueless (although I think the movie was based off Emma, and the show spun-off from the movie) and the webseries Emma Approved, I think it fits okay. Was considering putting it under 'book with a love triangle', but the relationship geometry going on in the book is way more complex and convoluted than a triangle XD
This would probably go faster if I read one book at a time instead of three or four at once.
