Talk:Lessons in Chemistry

"Novel of the Same Name"
I am just wondering why this article is for a TV show that has yet to air on a streaming service and not the runaway bestselling book it is based upon.

A book that has spent 52 weeks on the Amazon Most Sold Charts--currently #4 https://www.amazon.com/charts/2023-06-04/mostsold/fiction?ref=chrt_bk_nav_back, and 61 Weeks on NYT Best Sellers--currently #3 https://www.nytimes.com/books/best-sellers/.

It's the biggest debut novel of the year: https://slate.com/culture/2023/06/lessons-in-chemistry-book-bonnie-garmus-brie-larson.html

And the book and the author has been making the rounds of newspaper, magazines, and radio interviews. It so popular that many public libraries are having a hard time keeping it on the shelf and have hold lists that are 100s long. Goiaba Bean (talk) 15:51, 18 July 2023 (UTC)


 * The Bonnie Garmus article does mention the book. It might warrant a separate article if quality sources can be found. Fancy giving it a try? Knitsey (talk) 15:56, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree with the original poster's implicit objection. Even though I found the book terrible, it is still selling well, whereas the adaptation might not go into a second season.  I thought that on Wikipedia, originals, unless not particularly notable in their own right, were given priority over adaptations.  Is there a firm policy on this, perhaps?

 * TV shows get more coverage then books whether we like it or not, Brie Larson in a feminist themed production is likely to get internet talking heads raving about either grrl power or men's rights bring undue media coverage which amounts to notabity. Czarnibog (talk) 22:13, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
