Literature (Alternity)

A list of major novels written in the past century or so, quite of few of which in recent years have been adapted into blockbuster films. This is largely due to movie studios using the original authors as screenwriters (if possible), in order to maintain the integrity of the original novels and attract audiences in greater numbers.
