I can't even imagine who might do them justice, but some of the books in Iain Banks' Culture series could be a real treat.

The Amtrak Wars.

Red Rising

The Very Hungry Caterpillar (starring Dwayne The Rock Johnson as the caterpillar)

I’ve just realised perhaps the Pleistocene series by Julian May could probably be pulled off, especially if using the original (to me) cover illustrations as visual ‘canon’.

Abhorsen series by Garth Nix.

There actually was a 2008 animated Dragonlance movie with a good voice cast. But I hear it was terrible and I haven't forced myself to watch it.

Three Body Problem/ Liu Cixin's Dark Forest goodness

Any of the William Gibson trilogies. Even though The Peripheral didn't work out.

Early Mormon church history is about as bizzarre and dramatic as it gets. I think a well-produced & historically accurate dramaticization of the weird beginnings of the Mormon church would make for a good miniseries.

There are some really great kids books I've read to my daughter that I think would work well in a visual medium.

In particular the work of Alastair Chisholm (Orion Lost, The Consequence Girl and Adam 2) would work well I think.

Also Jamie Littler's Frostheart series would be great.

I'd also like to see an adaptation of How To Train Your Dragon that's much closer to the books than the movie series of the same name. The books are so good but so different from those films, and their story and characters would make a great TV show IMO.

The Red Rising series is worth it.

he GONE series by Michael Grant. Ive wished for a series based on the books since I first touched them.

Bolo. They'd have to do it in the *Love, Death, and Robots" format, since they're all short stories and no recurring characters, but it'd be great like that.

Earthbound/Mother 3 live action and serialised (or pretty much anything nintendo—zelda type got thing would be cool)

Nothing. I don't trust them to not try and make their own "vision" and fuck it up.

The Gaunt's Ghosts Warhammer 40,000 stories.

If I were allowed some creative direction, I would specify that unless it was there in the source material there will be zero scenes of people just explaining shit instead of showing it

The Preston & Child "Diogenes trilogy" books.

Or just everything around Agent Pendergast

None.

I don't see what making a film or TV series adds to any book, all they ever seem to do is a disservice to the original story in the attempt to squeeze as much money from it as possible.

I'd rather more fully voice acted audiobooks were made staying more true to the original texts but adding that extra element to draw you in than just one narrator trying to differentiate characters with different voices.

Warrior Cats. Talked about it with a friend the other day, I think an animated show would work best
