This Monday in my Monday Movie Mania blog, I posted about The Towering Inferno.

The movie was based on two books, that were also worth a read.

It's actually kind of fascinating how they took concepts from each book and made them into a unique movie that worked really well on its own.  Oddly enough, I like the movie better than either book, but both books stand well enough on their own.  They are worth a look if you're into disaster stuff.
