    You should! It's quite addicting. It's the reason why I've wanted to go to an archery place for so long.

    The Enemy series. Zombie apocalypse where once you turn 16 you become a zombie which leads to the majority of survivors being kids.

    That could actually be amazing. Each book could be like a 6 part series. :grin:

    I think if they can't find the funding to make movies of the rest of the books in the Vampire Academy series, it could make a good tv show.

    Someone really cool should make a mini-TV-series from Tab Kimpton's "Khaos Komix", it's so cool and all about LGBT stuff, and the main comic isn't even that explicitly sexual. I imagine something a bit like the original version of "Skins", when it comes to atmosphere.

    Howl's Moving Castle and the How to Train Your Dragon series. The adaptions that have been made don't do the originals justice and are a lot less humorous.
    I have to say that I do love Howl's Moving Castle the film, but ultimately the book is a masterpiece of children's literature: funny, emotional, full of character and vibrant.

    P.S. We would all be long dead by the time they finished The Wheel of Time as a TV series!

    Anne Rice's books about the Mayfair witches would make a great mini-series.

    Good Omens would be really great as a miniseries imo. I think someone else said that Neil Gaiman's writing is very suited to TV and I totally agree with that. I'd be happy to see a lot of his stuff adapted if it was done well!

    Also the Sabriel books! I wish Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli had done an animated film/show adaptation of them because it'd be perfect

    'I have no mouth, and I must scream' would be so cool.
    There's already a game, I demand a show.

    I'm pretty sure that, after the death of beloved co-author of Good Omens Terry Pratchett passed away, Gaiman confirmed that the TV series of Good Omens that originally surfaced in 2012 was going ahead. It's apparently being produced by Narrativia, which is producing other Terry Pratchett works.
    Could be a few years before that comes about though, seeing as 'The Watch' is likely coming first - and that's probably going to be out late 2016 or 2017 at the earliest!

    I've heard a bit about a Sandman movie in the works, being produced by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Apparently several of Neil Gaiman's works are being made into movies or tv shows, which is pretty exciting. As wonderful as the original comics are, I'd hate to see the movie go to terribly awry, and I have a feeling there's a good possibility of this happening.

    A Series Of Unfortunate Events was one of my favorite book series as a kid. I heard they are making a series on Netflix soon. So I'm pretty happy because the movie was kind of disappointing.
