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

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.
Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser series by Fritz Leiber
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.
The Hike by Drew Magary
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
Chung Kuo series by David Wingrove
The Traveler by John Twelve Hawks.
He is a little fucking nuts but the book is fun.
Mountain Man: 10 Books by Keith C. Blackmore. Basically, the Zombie Apocalypse happens and a Dude tries to survive alone, physically, mentally and emotionally while also trying to go on supply runs, running into Zombies and generally trying to stay alive while coping with everything. I think it would be good to have some other zombie-related Series that isn't The Walking Dead.
Expeditionary Force: 18 Books by Craig Alanson. Earth and Humanity are attacked by Hamster Aliens, another alien Race, Lizards, who attack the hamsters saving Earth in the process and then recruiting Humanity into a war on a galactic scale but the Hamsters aren't the real enemy of Humanity. I'm only at the end of the 5th Audiobook but they are great and I would really wish Skippy is voiced by the Audiobook Narrator R.C. Bray in a TV adaption.
Kyralia series: Been a while since I read it but a fantastic series related to magic By Trudi Canavan, I think there are just not enough good Magic-related Shows.
Tales of the Otori: A 5-Book Series by Lian Hearn is set in a fictional feudal Japan. The Main story follows a Boy, Takeo, through his life to avenge his adoptive father and escape the legacy of his biological father. Probably the only series in which I had to put down the book at one point and just had to process what was happening.
I would love to see a sword of truth series, but not done as an action thriller with shallow characters, because that’s just not what it is, damnit.
I have a vision that I think would be really cool for this type of adaptation but the only one I really care about is way too good to just put it up on the internet so that my idea can get stolen without credit.

The entire 2001: A Space Odyssey series should be a TV show.
