Longtime fan of the Planet of the Apes franchise, especially the original films and the 70s tv show. Shamefully I only learned of the source material recently, and had to read it immediately. 💙📚🪐 #booksky #scifi

I read Jurassic Park last week As a lifelong fan of the movie, I'm a little ashamed it's taken me until now to read the book Happy to say that Dr Ian Malcolm is still my favorite character (even more so now) I'm now looking for more recs of books that became classic films #booksky #filmsky
