Fiction

The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum
Chapters 1-6

Here's a funny one. The film is so modern, even though it's now 11 years old, but this original is from 1980 -- it feels more like reading a classic James Bond novel than watching the tech-age thriller they made the film into. It kind of takes some getting used to. Plus, it's over 550 pages long, so even at this early point, with the story barely under way, it already has wild divergences from the big screen adaptation.
