In the film Adaptation, Donald Kaufman shares an idea with his screenwriter brother for a film about a serial killer that sends demented clues to the police with a twist ending revealing he has multiple personalities. Charlie is not a fan of the idea.
This is a film, but partly adapted from Susan Orlean's novel The Orchid Thief. But screenplays of the real-life Charlie Kaufman should count- they remind me of books.

Billypar @tournevis I heard he has finished screenplays that he couldn't ever get produced.. which is unacceptable 😤 5y
Billypar @Cinfhen I still need to read it. It without be fair to compare with the film since it's really only half an adaptation (if that). But it still sounds like a good story in its own right. 5y
tournevis @Billypar Most good screenwriters so have stacks like that, afaik 5y
Billypar @tournevis True- all the more frustrating considering what production companies do spend their money making! 💰🗑️ 5y
Suet624 After reading The Library Book I think I have to read Orchid Thief. She is a great narrator of events. 5y
Billypar @Suet624 I have The Library Book on hold, but would like to try both from all I've heard. 5y
