Hello, this is a companion post to "Who is your favorite author?", and the question above is the topic. Books have been being adapted into movies for a long time, sometimes the results are excelent, (Lord of the Rings RULES!) and sometimes the results are awful. But many books have great potential as movies, but haven't been adapted to the silver screen. (Not yet, that is.) So, I've created this post so we can share our opinions on which books we'd like to see turned into movies. Have fun!

My nominees are as follows:

Namoi Novik's Temeraire series. I love the concept of dragons used as an air force in the Napoleanic Wars, and the battle scene at the end would be a heart-stopper on a movie screen.

Michael Chrichton's Next. The Jurassic Park movies had almost nothing in common with the book and its sequel, and the plot of Next is more realistic, so it won't be reduced to a silly CGI-fest if it gets turned into a movie.

And last but not least, Harry Turtledove's Worldwar series. The epic battle scenes and huge cast of characters would fit well in a movie, and the concept of aliens invading during WW2 is off-the-wall enough to give the action genre a well-deserved kick in the pants.
