  2. What are the best movies based on books?

    Less than a year after “The Great Gatsby” was published in 1925, F. Scott Fitzgerald was paid $16,666 for the film rights. “Come and see it all!” beckons the trailer for the silent film. “And enjoy the entertainment thrill of your life!”

  4. TV pitches: So I've got this idea for a show ...

    Two weeks from now, TV networks will announce their new slate of shows for next season. The majority of these series will be variations on a formula. Procedurals. High-concept sci-fi and fantasy dramas. Nighttime soaps. Comedies starring familiar faces. This is how it works. Out-of-the-ordinary shows tend to be too risky when the goal is big ratings.

    Growing up in Columbus, Ga., home of Fort Benning, Kimberly Smithwick knew better than to hang around with soldiers at bars.
    The Hartford Courant
    Growing up in Columbus, Ga., home of Fort Benning, Kimberly Smithwick knew better than to hang around with soldiers at bars. "I never thought I'd date a military guy, but then I met Joe," she said, laughing. There was something different about Staff...

  8. A new pad and pen

    At most events it's easy to see which person is there covering it for the newspaper: They're the ones with the pads and pencils. For decades our reporters have always had news reporter notepads and cameras. With the evolution of our industry, however,...

  9. Loss of printed books means reading won't be the same

    Think about the monks who painstakingly copied by hand the books available before Johannes Gutenberg came up with the printing press in 1450. An era was ending and a new one that would last more than 550 years had begun. Now we are in a process of...

  10. Elie Wiesel's story endures, empowers

    NEW YORK — A slender, silver-haired gentleman steps onto a nearly bare stage, the instantaneous applause continuing long after he reaches the spare wooden table awaiting him.

  11. 'The Chronicles of Narnia': A Great Series For Kids

    I really, really cherish reading with the boys, even though they have become voracious readers on their own.  We started reading "classics" together when they were small:  "Peter Pan", "Wind in the Willows" and "Stuart Little".  In recent years, we were ethralled by the entire Harry Potter series and loved experiencing the adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, huddled together on the white couch in the living room.  We laugh at silly parts and discuss complex chapters until we figure them out and talk about the characters we identify with the most.

  12. Isabel Allende, a life of letters

    Somewhere between her Chilean family's life-or-death political realities and its intuitive, fantastical imagination is where Isabel Allende writes. Where she lives is the Bay Area, arriving in California about 25 years ago with a famous surname she's gone on to burnish, novel by novel. As perhaps befits an emigre author, Allende's books are routinely translated into two dozen languages. Here she muses in English about what the future of the written word holds for authors like her, and for the readers who love them.
