Snowcrash

Magic Kingdom of Landover

The Gap Cycle series

LOL IDK how you would do the first book or even touch on that part of the books (because it makes them very very hard to suggest let alone reread) but once you got to the singularity bomb at the science space station deep in a dense asteroid field.... I wanna see that part. The emotions that the story creates in the characters is pretty primal and believable. Its an interesting story how each of the main characters goes through the same level of violation but in different ways

Children of time, but as a scifi miniseries.

wild cards by george rr martin

The Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee.

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").

Haroun and the Sea of Stories

All the Muderbot series

Old Man’s War series

Choose Your Own Adventure

The Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian - yes, I know there's been a movie (Master & Commander with Russel Crowe and Paul Bettany) but the series is much richer and deeper than any single movie could be.

Also, Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderlings series. Concentrate on the Fitz storyline, maybe give the Liveship series a miss.

Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser series by Fritz Leiber

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"

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