What books do the characters of your favourite movies read? From Instagram to Twitter, more and more pages hunt down the hidden books in popular movies and tv shows
How many times did we hear someone say that "the book was better than the movie"? Well, now there's another option that's better than anything else: books in movies. It all started with some social accounts, on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, and now books are back in fashion and are driving the web crazy. Their mission is loud and clear: they aim to find all the books that make enrich the storytelling of films.
One of the most famous accounts is @books.in.films, an Instagram account - founded by a girl named Galine in 2017 - that collects all the movie scenes where a character is holding a book. There's room for everybody: from Timothée Chalamet in Call Me By Your Name, the guys from Friends, then Cameron Diaz in The Holiday, Kate Winslet in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and the Gilmore Girls. The list goes on and on and it includes some recent successes as well as films that have made the history of cinema.
