Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle and Galapagos.
shareThe Catcher in the Rye
It's mystery how this book is not made into movie after almost 70 years.
Was, Igby Goes Down, loosely based on it?
shareIt's been attempted. So far, no success.

I would also like to see this as a movie, but it would have to be done right.
The Alexis Carew series by J.A. Sutherland. Huge opportunity for a "space opera" like Star Wars, but with a very strong, female lead and a strong supporting cast of characters that changes with each book.
share"The Evenings" by Gerard Reve. They made a kinda crappy-looking movie of it that came out in 1989, but it's in Dutch and I'm not paying for a DVD that I don't even know if it has subtitles.
Unfortunately after what Reve's partner did in 2001 they probably won't make a movie of his stuff.... =/
Oh and anything by Richard Brautigan.
Where The Sun Stood Still
About the life of this man, and it is an amazing story:
