Oscar weekend is here, and we've got movies on the brain – and on our Kindles, iPads and nightstands. Aside from watching Hollywood, we're reading about it, and catching up on some of the books that have inspired it.
奧斯卡周末在這里,在腦海、ipad和kindle以及床頭柜中我們已經有了電影 。除了觀看好萊塢,我們也在閱讀它,惡補激發電影靈感的一些書籍 。
Look below to see some of our recent staff favorites, and let us know what you're reading in the comments. After all, a book club's no fun without a good conversation.
請看下面就能看到我們最近一些員工的最愛,在評論中讓我們知道您正在閱讀 。畢竟一個讀書俱樂部沒有一個好的談話就沒有樂趣 。
