Jack Carter is reading Raymond Chandler's Farewell My Lovely in the train north during the title sequence.

"The House of Death" In "The House That Dripped Blood."
Books do help set the mood for film scenes. |

In Douglas Sirk's "Written on the Wind" (my favourite movie), the script has Jane Wyman reading Thoreau's 'Walden' as if to emphasise the perfection of the Rock Hudson character.
Ok, so I'm a lush

Hi, This is my first post outside the "Name That Film" section, so be kind :-) I wasn't sure if this first one would count, being from an American film, but people here have already mentioned In The Mouth Of Madness and The Ten Commandments, so I figured I'd be OK. It's Lenny Bruce's `How To Talk Dirty And Influence People' from Pump Up The Volume.  I'll confess I know nothing about the book or the author, but for some reason it just sprang to mind when I saw this thread. Perhaps because of the interaction between the leads in this scene, which I enjoyed. The next one is definitely from a British film: A Life Less Ordinary, by Danny Boyle. The book is `Perfect Love,' by Jennifer Hodge.  The hands here are Cameron Diaz's; Ewan MacGregor's blurry head appears just to the left. Holly Hunter also reads this in bed later in the film, and it's certainly very Mills and Boon (or what I'd imagine it to be). Her voice-over reveals the following to be part of the text: "She heard his breathing become shallow, and a flicker of a smile chased across her lips as she meditated on the power she now held over him…" Then it goes on to talk about exploratory pressure… I think we'll leave it there! :-) I can't find anything about this book or the author on the interweb. Another fine British movie here: `Hot Fuzz,' by Edgar Wright & Simon Pegg. Here we can see a remarkably normal-looking Bill Bailey reading Iain Banks' `Complicity.'
