   • The Godfather (Mario Puzo) £9.99. Buy the Godfather trilogy at Amazon. Film: 1972. Director: Francis Ford Coppola. Mario Puzo himself assisted on the screenplay for Coppola’s classic.
   • The Silence Of The Lambs (Thomas Harris) £5.68. Buy the movie at Amazon. Film: 1991. Director: Jonathan Demme. That The Silence of the Lambs is a great movie goes without saying – it won the Big Five (best film; best director; best actor/actress and best writing) at the Oscars.
   • To Kill A Mockingbird (Harper Lee) £4.99. Buy the movie at Amazon. Film: 1962. Director: Robert Mulligan. If Harper Lee’s epoch-defining novel is about tolerance and compassion in the face of hatred and violence, then Robert Mulligan’s adaptation has it spot on.
   • Fight Club (Chuck Palahniuk) £3.00. Buy the movie at Amazon. Film: 1999. Director: David Fincher. Critics often attack Hollywood for castrating a book’s central premise or diluting its message so as to garner a bigger audience.
