Weekends are a great time to read -- and to go to the movies -- and this weekend, three movies at The Tropic Cinema in Key West are literary adaptations. The first is "The Kite Runner," based on the novel by Khaled Hosseini(we have a large-print copy that is, of this writing, checked out). The second is the much-lauded "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" -- we have a copy of that as an audio book (two cassettes, unabridged -- it's a short book), ready and waiting to be checked out. And the third is a documentary, "The Rape of Europa," based on a nonfiction book about how the Nazis pillaged Western art during World War II. Read, watch, listen: So many options.
