100 Books to Read Before They're Films - Page 2

"There are always going to be books that are being made into movies, and we love to read them before they get the big-screen treatment as much as you do. If you like being able to say the book was better (isn't it always?), then we have 100 novels to dive into."
Note: There are actually only 97 books on this list, because the PopSugar's list mentioned some books twice.
