This month's selection is The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood.
Led by Wake Forest's favorite news reporter David Leone, The Book Was Better is a book club for readers who love page-to-screen stories. Each month, we dive into a book that inspired a movie or TV show, then debate the ultimate question: Was the book better? Join us for great reads, lively discussions, and a little friendly judgment of Hollywood’s choices.
