Sure

My favorite show is Lost, would Lord of the Flies work since they're "plane-wrecked on a deserted island"?

For the person that liked the Office, you could also possibly go with Bait and Switch: The (Futile) Pursuit of the American Dream by Barbara Ehrenreich or possibly Devil Wears Prada since that takes place in an office.

Personally, I went back to the 80's for my show.

Ooooh a TV miniseries is permitted! That means I could read Band of Brothers E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne from Normandy to Hitler's Eagle's Nest!

i'm hoping i can find a copy of Growing Up Brady I Was a Teenage Greg. i STILL love this show! :)

Okay, I really want to know what Nick Hornby has to say about The West Wing!!! The rest, not so much. I might have to find that book just to read the first essay!

I'm excited... I'm going to read A Secret Life by Laura Peyton Roberts... It's an Alias novel... ;)

Hi Bunny you could read any book set in an office really. Or there's Flanimals by Ricky Gervais but not sure if that'll count as it's more of a picture book!

I plan on reading Déjà Dead by Kathy Reichs for this one. It's the Temperance Brennan novels which were inspiration for really the only show I watch- Bones.

Would by Richard Castlework? I love the show Castle and this is the book that the main character "wrote" last season. I'd love to have a "reason" to read it.

Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris

It's not one I really enjoyed, but lots of people loved it.

Can it be a miniseries? I don't watch TV, but I rented the John Adams miniseries and loved, loved, loved that, so I was going to read the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. Does that work?

How specific does the TV show/connection have to be? I'm not a TV watcher, but when I do watch it's either the news or a kids' show with my son. So could I read something like Two Years, No Rain about a TV weatherman-turned kids' TV performer?

SMALL SCREEN STORIES - Read A Book Inspired By, OR Was The Inspiration For, OR Is In Some Way Related To Your Favorite Television Show (Past Or Present).
Ex. If Your Favorite Show Is Dexter You Could Read A Book From Jeff Lindsay's Dexter Series Or Another Book About A Serial Killer(s).
