Kirra asked Mindy Kaling:

Hi Mindy! If you could take any book that you read in the last few years and turn it into a TV series, which book would that be? And who would you cast as each of the characters?

Mindy Kaling Definitely The Catcher in the Rye. Just kidding! I love Patricia Highsmith’s books about Tom Ripley (The Talented Mr. Ripley is the first book), but there are more Ripley books that come after that one! The series of five books is known as the Ripliad. Why isn’t that a TV series?
