    The wheel of time series by robert jordan
    Yes, yes yes.And for my choice how about The Name of the Wind by Philip Rothfuss, really good read.

    It's Patrick Rothfuss, but good point. I forgot about those! Can't wait for the third book.
    Okay, mr smartypants, l got his name wrong, durr:embarassed: :blushing:

    The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I could die happily if they made them into movies that are actually good.

    Damon Lindelof was working on bringing that to the screen, but I think I read he's no longer involved with the project.

    The Giver.

    There have been rumors about one since I first read (and loved) it in 1997.

    :grumble:

    The wheel of time series by robert jordan


    Yes.......It would definately be a several movie series.


    Edited to say I am rereading the series right now. Trying to time it so I finish approximately when the last book comes out.

    The Night Circus

    And The Discovery of Witches trilogy

    Or any Paulo Coelho novel...don't know how they would work because of a lot of introspection...but it would be amazing

    In regards to A Discovery of Witches and Shadow of Night,
    I didn't see anyone say it yet on here, but The All Souls Trilogy has already been purchased by MGM I believe for all 3 movies!!!

    The rest of Dan Browns books that haven't been made into movies yet.

    But above all, Outlander by Diana Gabaldon needs to be a movie and it needs to be done right! No big names! The story is far too good to be overshadowed by who's in it.

    I agree with everyone who 'voted' for Dragonriders of Pern - or anything else written by Anne McCaffrey. Crystal Singer books were pretty good too, ya know! :wink:

    She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb
    I'd pay $12(US) to see how they pulled this one off. Would be tough to make a screenplay yet stay true to the book. Great, great book.

    Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld.

    I bought that book the other day, is it a good series?
    My friend said it would be a good read for me since I'm a huge fan of The Hunger Games ...

    The Dark Elf Saga -- RA Salvatore

    YES!

    And the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, but I'm simultaneously terrified because if it's not perfect, it's gonna suck. And no mortal man can live up to the Jamie Frasier in my head.
