CHICAGO — You can see what all the "Gone Girl" fuss is about when you ride the "L" starting Sunday.

More than 350 books will be shared on CTA trains and at stations Sunday to June 13 for Global Sharing Week, with another 2,000 books coming in late September and early October.

The initiative is part of Books on the L; last year, nearly 1,000 books were shared and read as part of the project, according to a Chicago Ideas news release.

Gillian Flynn's bestselling "Gone Girl," which was turned into a movie starring Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike in 2014, won't be the only offering. "Living History" by Hillary Rodham Clinton, "Into the Wild" by Jon Krakauer and "Zero to One" by Peter Thiel will be among other offerings.
