> [@SCAdian](#): > > 1. Not (I think) best known from movies > 2. Probably (I think) best known from works of the written word There’s a book. There’s a movie. I think the book would be better known, but considering the size of the movie-going public as opposed to the size of the book-reading public… On the other hand, the book has been constantly available since its initial publication, whereas the movie hasn’t - but then our library’s copy has only been checked out once since 1997, and that was six years ago… So yes, I’m known from a book. And from a movie. ---
