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
This Is How You Lose the Time War
The Hyperion Cantos, all 4 books. Stop wasting money on Dune reboots and make something good.
I’m so sick of the reboots. Make it once and leave it alone
More Discworld books and the entire Culture series by Banks.
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.
House of Leaves
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
The Lies of Locke Lamora
I’ve listened to those audiobooks at least three times. They’re sooo good.
Wish the author could finish the series
Yeah I’ve re-read the books three times and every time I forget how much the ending leaves you wanting more.
We Are Legion by Dennis E. Taylor and the sequels.
UBIK
spoiler
DIR. VILLENEUVE
The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell, although I’m not sure its subtleties could be brought to the screen.
The name of the wind
deleted by creator
Seveneves by Stephenson.
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 expanse novels
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.
The first six had been made into a series on Amazon prime. (More or less)
The last 3 would be a huge challenge to do as a tv show.
Without spoiling it I cannot explain why
Rest are covered by the TV show
Man, I have these books and I never got to read them. Are they good?
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. 😂
And their two new Captive’s War books, Mercy of Gods and Livesuit, are epic AF. It’s gonna be an amazing series.
