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

Stranger in a strange land

For the chaos

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.

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

Discworld work make an incredible series of movies. I think D&D Honor Amongst Theives proves that modern comedy fantasies can work great in a movie format.

My other choice would be House of the Scorpion.

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

Transmetropolitan

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

Damsel.

When I heard about the Netflix movie I initially thought it was an adaptation of the book...

At this point, I want a movie adaptation just out of spite to see how much better it would be than the complete trash that netflix thought would make a good original story. I do highly recommend the book, too.

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.

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).

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

A book called The Land of Laughs by Jonathan Carroll.

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