I’ve recently gotten into the strange habit of watching book-to-movies, then going back to read the book. When I do this, it’s because I loved the movie enough to want to learn more, and knew the only way to satisfy my curiosity was to delve into the book, which inevitably would have more information and a deeper story line. The most recent book-to-big-screen that hit my fancy was Ready Player One. I remember the hype back when it hit theaters, and a few friends had recommended, so when the movie came to HBO I gave it a look. THEN, once I was intrigued enough, I cracked open the hard copy.
