The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum on TV was ok, but was nothing compared to the novel.

Would love to see Rage of Angels & Tell me your Dreams both by Sidney Sheldon.

tommyex, i feel you. the painted house by john grisham is really boring but all his other books are excellent. try innocent man, street lawyer, the firm, the chamber, and a host of others. you wont regret it.

i will be too glad to see the following novels transform to a film but with very good director and artists

The firm                                    by John Grisham
tell me your dreams                  by Sidney Sheldon
the otherside of midnight          by Sidney Sheldon
in short all Sidney Sheldon's novel will be fine by me

Is it that everybody has forgotten about James Hardley Chase or that nobody reads his novels anylonger?
My earliest novels were written by him and i would really love to see some of them in movies. my best titles include:
[size=10pt][/size]
Miss Shumway waves a wand
whats better than money
an ear to the ground
sucker punch
the vic malloy series,&
malik and gerland series.

I actually have my own novel the title GOLDCHILD,very unique in the sense of its contents,it is a fusion of a Nigerian society with fictional mythical characters,a story about two different worlds being told as one,it potrays a strong imaginative undertone.A refreshing  new phenomenon in Nigerian literature.
I sure hope there are producers with the capability of reenacting the various scenes with the required background and special effects(there would be need for animations in certain areas)
Anywayz here my nos in-case u might want to have a free preview of my novel

Chinua Achebe's No longer at ease would be really cool.
The concubine is boring.
Danielle steel's The Long Road Home.
Sheldon's Morning, Noon and night would make a good soap opera/series.

tommyex,

john grisham's ' a time to kill ' is da bomb and you can also watch 'the firm' and 'the chamber'(not too sure about this one, though).

'street lawyer' was interesting to me. its about a lawyer who decided to do pro-bono work. i loved it. just try it and see.


has anyone read kaine agary's 'yellow yellow', jude dibia's 'unbridled' and chimamanda's 'half of a yellow sun'? are they interesting? purple hibiscus was ok but you need a lot of patience to read it.

if you can read purple hibiscus, then, you can read 'the icharus girl' (can't remember the author). didnt finish it but it was captivating.

Half of a yellow sun is good [biafra stuff] but u might need some patience also, but chimamanda obviously has very good characters and a good plot also.
