ALL GROWED UP: It’s very possible adults are actually the most fervent fans of Maurice Sendak’s 1963 book “Where the Wild Things Are” – it’s even more tempting to run away to a magical world in your imagination once you’ve faced down a pink slip, broken heart, or any other downer of grownuphood. So Dave Eggers’ “The Wild Things,” based loosely on his screenplay for the movie (in theaters today) co-penned with director Spike Jonze, will probably wind up on your bedstand, where you’ll return to it again and again. Whether or not you’ve had supper. $19.95 at Books of Wonder, 18 West 18th Street; 212-989-3270.
