Many seek inspiration in books and it seems actor John Abraham is one among them. And ever since he turned producer, even more so.

At a recent book launch in Bandra, John told CS, `When you start looking at a book as a producer, the first thing that comes to your mind is that how are you going to convert that book into a story.`

He further believes, `Books are a great inspiration for films, I feel. I like reading inspirational books.

A book that I really admire is Jonathan Livingston Seagull. It's a novella. I even like reading fiction. There is so much that you can draw from these books that can be made into films.`
