It also includes links to partial lists on other sites. These partial lists tend to be based on what happened to catch somebody’s eye (usually in the cinema, not the DVD) rather than a complete, frame-by-frame list. But even that long list isn’t complete. [*Yahoo! Movies*](https://www.yahoo.com/movies/interstellar-reading-list-what-books-were-on-the-102013440002.html) spotted a few items which don]t appear above: * *Lindbergh* by A. Scott Berg * A *Dorothy Parker* collection * A collection of *Sherlock Holmes* stories * *The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary* * *Encyclopedia Britannica*
