    I don't know about you guys but I LOVE to read! I always imagine what I'm reading to be a movie in my head. I pick actors that would best represent what I think the characters look like. Unfortunately, when books are made into movies they usually aren't who I imagined.

    Nevertheless, I would still love to have some of my favorite books turned into movies. What books would you like to see turned into movies??

    Would love to see some of the Vince Flynn books made into movies. As long as they stayed true to the theme and tenor of the books and Mitch Rappe was treated as a hero.

    Very overrated and certainly overpriced.

    I always thought Peter Benchley's Jaws would make a good movie.

    Some guy named Lucas wrote a book about this kid on a desert planet who wants to be a star pilot. I doubt it would get a look.

    I don't know. As long as they don't ruin it with a bunch of unnecessary digital fx it could be good.

    Any George RR Martin Book. No way you could fit it into a movie though.

    They are doing an HBO series instead! :N1yeeaah:
