Check out these incredible books—available in the Durham Tech Library—that have made their way to the small screen on DVD...which we also have available for you to take home!
The Color Purple
Alice Walker’s Pulitzer-winning novel is a powerful tale of resilience, sisterhood, and survival, set in the early 20th-century American South.
The 1985 Spielberg film (starring Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey, and Danny Glover) and the;
2023 musical adaptation, both bring Celie’s journey to life with unforgettable performances.
Gone Girl
Gillian Flynn’s psychological thriller about a seemingly perfect marriage gone horribly wrong keeps readers guessing until the very end.
David Fincher’s 2014 film (starring Rosamund Pike and Ben Affleck) is just as twisty, dark, and deliciously unsettling as the novel.
