The only reason I like them is that I know a lot of people who were non-readers who got interested in books after seeing a movie made from one. They wanted to know more about it.
Battlefield Earth. The book was amazing! Action packed and a real page turner. I don’t know what that dreck was that Travolta appeared in, but it certainly wasn’t a movie.
I love that book! I’ve read it like 3 or 4 times; there is something simple yet powerful and comforting about it to me; funny , it’s a book that’s never left me
Well, if I enjoyed the book, I usually don’t think much of the film. On the other hand, if I didn’t like the book much, I often think the film is an improvement. So the thing would be to go for a book I didn’t care for much. If it was a book I liked, a tv series is usually better, because they don’t leave out so much.
The Great Alone: just the Alaskan scenery would be breathtaking.
If they could get the same girl and her family to reprise their roles would like to see them take After You and Still Me by JoJo Moyes. I haven’t read these books but though they would be good as a movie Lilac Girls and The Orphan Train.

The Shadow Land by Elizabeth Kostova, my favorite read this year. I would love to see the Bulgarian countryside and cities of this wonderful novel.
I think the Prey books (John Sanford) would make great TV, although anyone of them could be easily made into. Movie
