What book do you think should be made into a movie? And do you have any suggestions for the producers?

Or, What book do you think should NEVER be made into a movie?

There are TONS of books that I would like to see turned into a movie. I would like if there were a proper, to the book version of Dante’s The Divine Comedy. I would also like to see a book version of Blood and Gold by Anne Rice made. However, I know that one will never be done because there is too much homosexuality in it to appeal to a mainstream audience. If it were made, it would be a low budget film that wouldn’t capture the time or characters, even the story, appropriately. Not enough to do such a great and beautiful book justice.

But the book that I would LOVE to see made into a movie is A Spell for Chameleon by Piers Anthony.

A Spell For Chameleon is the first book in the Xanth series, which is well up to near its 30th book by now, I believe. The book is a fantasy story about a magical land called Xanth in which magical creatures live, mythical things happen, and every human is born with a magical talent that is unique to them and never to be duplicated in anyone else. Some inhabitants of Xanth may not be born with talents. If a person is found to be without a magical talent, they are sent away to Mundania, which is… well, here. In A Spell For Chameleon, the main character Bink is one such talentless individuals. The book follows his quest for his magical talent and then his own exile. It’s a charming book, funny, exciting, and sexy. I can’t sing the praises of Piers Anthony and the Xanth series enough. I would just LOVE for movie companies to start making them into movies.
