If I were allowed some creative direction, I would specify that unless it was there in the source material there will be zero scenes of people just explaining shit instead of showing it

Its not a series, just a standalone book but I would love to see a stop motion movie of the magnum opus. It's a book that was written by the makers of a stop motion short called the maker. I would love to see what they could do with a proper budget

I would watch a well made series based on the Parker novels by Richard Stark.
The Gentlemen Bastards series could work well: Not too much CGI needed, and fancy rennaisance italy aesthetics deserve a fantasy show about thieving orphans!
This happened for me with wheel of Time. Be careful what you wish for.
The Webnovel "Mother of Learning" It has four arcs. Each arc is long enough to be made into two seasons, each containing 8 episodes.
The "titan" series by John Varley. A good trilogy. Also a good five year series could be had with "ringworld" by Niven - the ongoing adventures that could feature six months of gathering the players and explaining their mission(s).
IF they're done right, of course.
I can't even imagine who might do them justice, but some of the books in Iain Banks' Culture series could be a real treat.
The Preston & Child "Diogenes trilogy" books.
Or just everything around Agent Pendergast
Not a book, but I would love to see a cinematic adaptation of "East of West". The universe is beautifully drawn.
None.
I don't see what making a film or TV series adds to any book, all they ever seem to do is a disservice to the original story in the attempt to squeeze as much money from it as possible.
I'd rather more fully voice acted audiobooks were made staying more true to the original texts but adding that extra element to draw you in than just one narrator trying to differentiate characters with different voices.

It's that last part that effs it up. For example, I really liked Luhrman's Romeo+Juliet. That was a creative interpretation. I enjoyed Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I thought the books were decent, but the movie captured the best bits, IMO. Early seasons of Game of Thrones were good. I like some of the changes made to move the internal dialog to conversations. It gave the side characters more life.
It's when the artistic vision is cast aside in the name of profit, then the work of art suffers.
I feel like a Dark Elf Trilogy could only bring disappointment
Tunnels hands down
I think Neuromancer would work well as a heavily stylized animation.
There's been talk multiple times of turning the Matthew Corbett series by Robert R. McCammon into a series.
I could see every book being turned into a maybe 10 episode season.
Calculus....early transcendentals.
I would love to see Feist's sagas on screen.
That said, I only chose those because I'm already lucky enough to be seeing Wheel of Time come to the small screen, and it's a joy.
