I don’t think there are many of his books that wouldn’t make great films, frankly. “Wolf In Shadow” would be superb.
There were rumours of making a film on the wheel of time series a while back. If they can make a series on the Shannara Chronicles then certainly Magician / The Wheel of Time series should certainly be considered.
I say we start a kickstarter campaign and those who back it get to be in the film / series
Bagsy being Matt / Macros The Black
V2k.
I'm currently reading the Uplift War by David Brin. Not bad so far.
KOOL Some really nice and varied titles. I'm currently going back through the GAP series by Stephan Donaldson, a really bizarre space opera, next I'll go back to the Foundation series. We all know Isaac.

I was out today. Not where I wanted to go but they did have a Waterstone's.
I have finally got the complete LotR trilogy.

Im not currently reading anything but right before christmas break our english class just finished reading Of Mice And Men
I asked my wife for one thing for Christmas; the new Pullman book.
We were browsing in Waterstones a couple of weeks ago and she said she couldn't remember what I wanted, so I pointed her to the largest book slap bang in the centre of their window display - not exactly difficult to find. On Christmas morning I was given a set of nail clippers and a cheese-making kit.
I think that is going to be a Kindle purchase now, unless I spot it when I next take the kids to the library, once I have finished dawdling through Jon Ronson's "So You've Been Publicly Shamed".
Over the holidays, I've had the chance to get through Asimov's Foundation series. I hadn't read them since i was a teenager, so it was almost like reading them again for the first time.
They're curious books. On the one hand there's Asimov's undoubted gift for capturing grand sweeps of history, but on the other his history seems strangely slow by today's standards. 50,000 years into the future and self-heating jackets are a thing, but they get too hot because they're manually controlled.

I wish I was English like my hero Tj.
Oh man. I barely remember reading those, but I know I did. Lol. I'd be hard pressed to tell you anything about them now.
I'm currently reading Laurell K. Hamilton's Merry Gentry series. But I'm too ashamed to admit it.
Språkvägen- för sfi kurs B.

(At home still reading 20th century ghosts by Joe Hill)

Ahh then you find, The Silmarillion god that was a hard read when I was in my teens, ohh and not forgeting the books of lost tales, then all the other stuff thats out there that relates to the whole thing. LOTR is a great read, I got to the council of Elrond my first time but I was only 14 when I read it and got there and went Huh...damn I need to read my text book....
Ah yes, I think I've read at least one of those...!
I really, really want to like LOTR but I've bounced twice now. Among my annoyances were the fact that barely 50 pages in you've been introduced to a lot of characters, one of whom then proceeds to changes their name!
My second major annoyance can be summed up by the words 'Tom Bombadil'.

Elite Encounters, new RPG lore book.
It is TEH LORE book you need to read if you are serious about ED.

I'm currently reading The Three Body Problem. The denouement is going to be a real humdinger, I know that much. It's really well-translated and a great sci-fi story.
If we count audio books as "reading," I listened to Michael Connelly's The Burning Room over the New Years weekend whilst shoveling snow out of my driveway & parking area, and am now moving on to Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged.
