For me, it’s King’s “Fairy Tale”. I think it would make a great movie. Here is to hoping that Hollywood hears my prayers. Lol

    The Hyperion Cantos, all 4 books. Stop wasting money on Dune reboots and make something good.

      I can’t believe that nothing mainly concerning the Ankh Morpork Watch has ever been produced. If nothing else, they could be the source for a great TV show, but so far nothing has ever been made. It’s weird.

    I would love the enders saga completely done in a faithful way. I can see how it won’t be, of course, but it brought me to tears so many times I’d love to watch it (and share it with non-readers!)

    Working through the dune series would be great , too - also not really feasible

      I’ve listened to those audiobooks at least three times. They’re sooo good.

      Wish the author could finish the series

    The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell, although I’m not sure its subtleties could be brought to the screen.

    It will never happen but Vainqueur the Dragon has some very funny moments.

    Red Rising by Pierce Brown.

    With the entire book series, there is plenty of material for sequels.

      That series is good but not great as writing (IMO, of course) but I think would be incredible on screen. Film or high budget TV series could both work.

        There have already been several attempts to adapt the series as a movie or TV series, but unfortunately nothing ever came of it.

        And yes, given the scope, a series would probably be better, but it would certainly require a high budget.

      The last 3

      Why the last three? Are there not only three of them? I haven’t actually read them so I might have been wrong.

        This is not hyperbole:

        The best science fiction story I have ever read.

        The most satisfying end to an epic story I have ever read.

        9 novels and an entire novel full of short stories like almost 10k pages of the most engaging story ever.

        Awesome characters, hard sci fi tech, cosmic horror and it’s all relatable.

        Each book is like its own contained story too and each one has a distinct flavor.

        Seriously the show was cool but not perfect. Those books man. Holy cow.

        Imagine if George rr. Martin actually finished a song of ice and fire.

        These dudes finished their story. It’s amazing

        I am going to re-read it now

          Shit, then let me stop reading this slog (the wheel of time) that has been like pulling my intestines out of my mouth by a child. I’m seriously going to stop it and start reading the expanse. That’s it. I’m done. 😂
