Which book made you laugh?
Which book made you cry?
Which book would make a great song?

Once you have picked a book, start writing your lyrics.

The best lyrics will be the ones that pick up on the themes or emotions of the story such as the love Juliet felt for Romeo or the daring of Artemis Fowl.

Here are some famous songs written with inspiration from books:

Romeo and Juliet
by The Killers
Inspired by William Shakespeare's very popular play.

Paranoid Android
by Radiohead 
Inspired by Marvin the depressed robot from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy by Douglas Adams.

Scentless Apprentice
by Nirvana
Based on Perfume, a German novel by Patrick Süskind with a serial killer obsessed with finding the perfect fragrance.
