Yeah, I know, another post about books *and* movies. (What can I say, books and movies are two of my loves!) I'm curious, what are some books that you'd like to see made into movies?
My pick: The Postmortal by Drew Magary
The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

The Long Walk, by Stephen King.
It would make one great movie!
On the first day of May 100 teenage boys meet for a race known as The Long Walk. If you break the rules you get three warnings. If you exceed your limit what happens is absolutely terrifying.
The Silmarillion by J.R.R Tolkien

There was a movie of the same name and even the characters in the movie had the same names as those in the book.
But it certainty wasn't an adaption of the book, I can tell you!
it was an adaptation according to this

Wikipedia can have lies posted on it.
The book I read was nothing like the movie.
I'd like to see a proper adaptation of it or for this farce of one to be wiped from the libraries of civility.
the author says it was an adaptation

The author also says that The Reasons Why I Jump was written by a Japanese child.
David's a great writer but I'm not sure he is always on point.
