That's a great pick, some of the scenes are almost scripted for a movie.

Yeah, seeing Yama and some of the others in battle would be awesome on film.

I'd love to see the Mistborn book 1 brought to life. Lots of interesting character/scenery/action scenes that would be epic onscreen.

At one time, Preacher was going to be a HBO series. But the powers that be thought it was too dark and controversial.

It might be hard to do but would love to see "the long walk". Stephen king. It's a great read

I watched Remo Williams the other day. Csb
I've always wanted to see a book called The Alienist as a movie. It'd be like Sherlock Holmes meets Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It'd be a LotR ripoff, but I'd also like to see Terry Brooks' Shanarra series (sp) as a franchise.

Grisham's novel "will play for pizza" would be a great one too. It's about a QB who goes and plays in the Italian league because he is the laughing stock of the NFL.
I love this book.

Which I think they ARE making in to a movie.
If you grew up in the 80's, stop what ever you're reading and READ THIS BOOK.
