Week 5, Assignment 2
I am new to the website Early Word - The "Books and TV" category was very interesting. The connections between TV shows and books were fascinating. I can see that it would be useful for customers who want to delve deeper into the background behind a certain topic or individual featured on a radio program or tv show. An example is the HBO film Behind the Candelabra, the story of entertainer Liberace and the 1988 book Behind the Candelabra: My Life with Liberace. Terry Gross interviewed the director Steven Soderbergh on NPR’s Fresh Air, and he explained that he'd been inspired by the book. I especially liked the "New Title Radar" section and the "Nancy Pearl Book Lust" resource, also. I will probably use all three of these in the future.
