Ask Lemmy

House of blades / travelers gate series by will wight.

Surprisingly cool YA / RPG ish without being gamey and too cringe.

Would be a very cool show if not done on CB

Any Brandon Sanderson books of course.

The Megastructure Compendium as an Anthology about life around these massive feats of engineering.

Any Batman story that focuses more on how he's mainly a detective and only breaks out the concussion gloves if he's attacked or there's literally no other way to resolve the situation at hand?

Society thinks he's The Punisher in a funny hat because of those damned nolanverse films.

Lord of Light, high sci Fi mashed with epic Indian mythology and eastern philosophy.

Choose Your Own Adventure

Little brother by cory Doctorow Best book ive read. Characters have real feelings and flaws. And the book got me deep into linux and foss

Would highly recommend

Mountain Man: 10 Books by Keith C. Blackmore. Basically, the Zombie Apocalypse happens and a Dude tries to survive alone, physically, mentally and emotionally while also trying to go on supply runs, running into Zombies and generally trying to stay alive while coping with everything. I think it would be good to have some other zombie-related Series that isn't The Walking Dead.

Expeditionary Force: 18 Books by Craig Alanson. Earth and Humanity are attacked by Hamster Aliens, another alien Race, Lizards, who attack the hamsters saving Earth in the process and then recruiting Humanity into a war on a galactic scale but the Hamsters aren't the real enemy of Humanity. I'm only at the end of the 5th Audiobook but they are great and I would really wish Skippy is voiced by the Audiobook Narrator R.C. Bray in a TV adaption.

Kyralia series: Been a while since I read it but a fantastic series related to magic By Trudi Canavan, I think there are just not enough good Magic-related Shows.

Tales of the Otori: A 5-Book Series by Lian Hearn is set in a fictional feudal Japan. The Main story follows a Boy, Takeo, through his life to avenge his adoptive father and escape the legacy of his biological father. Probably the only series in which I had to put down the book at one point and just had to process what was happening.

Haroun and the Sea of Stories

All the Muderbot series

Old Man’s War series

Honor Harrington might be good on a big screen in the present political climate. (Female lead plus a cat)

The myth adventures might be right for a different flavor of comedy.

V. E. Schwab - the Invisible Life of Adie LaRue would be amazing. Classic cursed immortal living through the ages, but without vampires!

The Grand Tour novels from Ben Bova. All about mankinds spread into the solar system. There are some anachronisms here and there that would need to be ironed out, and plenty of continuity errors to fix, but overall a very exciting series of stories.

Any of the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett

They need to do a good Dark Tower series. Make it a mini-series or a series of films.

I've been listening to Pushing Ice by Alastair Reynolds thanks to a recommendation I saw here on Lemmy. This is one that I'd like to see a movie or series adaptation.

The Bobiverse would be a fun series I think as well.

Karsa Orlong would say: Witness.

Slightly off topic, but the latest episode of the What Went Wrong podcast is about the adaptation of American Psycho from novel to film and I'm quite enjoying it.

Where's is waldo

A good version of “Riverworld” by Philip Jose Farmer would be awesome. “Borne” or “The Strange Bird” by Jeff Vandermeer. “Dance, Dance, Dance” by Murakmi. The Maddaddam Trilogy by Atwood.

As a deep cut, “The Woman in the Dunes” by Kobo Abe. Totally surreal.

I would love to see a sword of truth series, but not done as an action thriller with shallow characters, because that’s just not what it is, damnit.

The Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny

It needs to be a show, not movies. One book per season would allow enough detail to be included.
