I'd really like to strongly suggest a nod for two of the books that aren't yet getting much uptake -- Elmer Gantry and The Old Man and the Sea. EG had a huge impact and is a powerful book, excellently adapted to the screen. I'll be reading it regardless, and watching the movie. The Hemingway is his finest book, superbly adapted to film with the author involved in the 50's adaptation. I admit, Spencer Tracy isn't exactly a Cuban fisherman, but he does well in it. And having read the book recently, when it became Public Domain in Canada, I can highly recommend it. An excellent book, well worth the awards it received.
