The Traveler by John Twelve Hawks.

He is a little fucking nuts but the book is fun.

The Hike by Drew Magary

Repairman Jack. But reserve the supernatural stuff at the end of the seasons. I just want to watch his "repairs"

Stranger in a strange land

For the chaos

"Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates" by Tom Robbins. I always thought Phillip Seymour Hoffman would be the perfect protagonist.

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.

Karsa Orlong would say: Witness.

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.

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

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.

Occult and esoteric books in general, such as "The Kybalion" (Hermeticism), "The Book of the Dead" (Egyptian), "Liber AL vel Legis" (by Aleister Crowley, Thelema), as well as grimoires (such as the "Book of Saint Cyprian"). While there are tons of movies and TV Series that directly adapts biblical stories, I feel that there are so few (if there's any) cinematographic works adapting esoteric, occult, pagan books (from belief systems such as Gnosticism, Wicca, Rosicrucianism, Hermeticism, Luciferianism, Thelema, Goëtia, and so on). I even tried to ask AIs to list movies and TV series adapting such books, and every single listed movie (such as The Matrix) is not a direct adaptation. They don't even mention these books (in best cases, The Matrix merely alludes to hermetic principles such as "the Universe is Mental" (i.e. the scene between Neo and the kid that says that "the spoon doesn't exist").

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

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

Low Town and its sequels, especially She Who Waits. They're by Daniel Polansky and not my typical reads but dang were they good.

Random Acts Of Senseless Violence by Jack Womack.

From comic books, Bitch Planet and Archer And Armstrong.

Deserves? Not sure, but I feel like Gideon will get one. It seems pretty popular.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. Could be a fun mini series to adapt. The video game never grabbed me though.

Fritz Leiber's short story "A Pail of Air".

This story portrays the effects of the most terrifying natural calamity I have ever encountered in fiction: Earth being ejected from the solar system. In any other disaster there's still hope because even though humanity might die out, life on Earth would eventually recover. Not so in this case. Without the Sun we're fucked. Even the air freezes (hence the title).

A book called The Land of Laughs by Jonathan Carroll.
