Read the Oscars

Not able to watch the Oscars Sunday night?  No problem.  Just read them!  While it is not unusual for Oscar nominees to come from book adaptations, this year is unprecedented.  Six of the eight Best Picture Nominees got their start on the printed (or downloaded) page: The Big Short, Bridge of Spies, Brooklyn, The Martian, The Revenant and Room.  You shouldn’t have trouble picking out one that sparks your interest as their subjects span many genres:  non-fiction, historical fiction, psychological fiction, romance, sci-fi, and western.  See our display for more Oscar book selections over the years.
