Book lovers are often eager to watch movie versions of the books they admire. When Dr. Seuss's popular children's book How the Grinch Stole Christmas was turned into a movie in 2000, for example, fans of the book flocked to theaters to see the movie. Curious to know whether screen adaptations also inspire people to read the original books, Klaudia H.Y. Lee interviewed more than three thousand students. She found that many of the students indicated that they were more motivated to seek out and read certain books after having watched movies based on them.
