Mystery News -- "Real to Reel" columns

In the December / January 2008 magazine of Mystery News, I began a column called "Real to Real."  Taking a "real" book and then considering the film or "reel" that came from the story.  I began coordinating a group in San Antonio over seven years ago and presently we meet in our home once a month.  We read a specific book and then watch the film together.  In this column, I want to share some of the richness with the readers to consider reading or re-reading the book and then watching the film.  Some might want to accomplish this in a small group format.  To read the columns you will have to obtain a copy of Mystery News, and if you do not subscribe to the magazine -- consider a subscription.  Go to:
