Wool... By Hugh Howey

Never heard of it, but looked it up. Might buy it and read it.

The Book of Lies by Brad Meltzer
Agincourt by Bernard Cornwell. (other book series by Cornwell should be made into TV series). I may come up with some others.

If you do (and I highly recommend you do) then you'll want to start with Wool Omnibus Edition (Wool 1 - 5) (Silo Saga)
Then move to Shift Omnibus Edition (Shift 1-3) (Wool Trilogy Book 2)
And finish with Dust (Wool Trilogy Book 3)
My fear is that a movie gets made and is butchered a la "John Carter of Mars"
:::edit::: Well look what I just found
Ridley Scott ( Prometheus) acquired the film rights..

my eyesight sucks so I am an audible member, 24 unabridged audio books a year.
I listened to a sample of wool unfortunately it's read by a Valley Girl.
(actually an unimpressive female narrator)

That would be irritating as hell.

it is. I don't know what that gig pays but there are so many actors out there it seems like you should never settle for a second rate performance.

The Book of Lies is a mystery that centers on the creation of Superman and the death of Jerry Siegel's father. Some of it takes place at the Siegel house on Kimberly Ave. where Superman was "born".

It may have fallen down a bit on some points. But I thought it did a very good job at dwelling into the motivations of the young Jerry Seigel and his reasons for creating Superman. At a young age he had lost his dad who was a cop to a bullet, a mystery that I believe has never been solved.
In essence, he wanted to create a hero who would be essentially invulnerable to replace his dad.
I mean, Dude, it wasn't a Superman comic book.

My favorite Vietnam novel

John Carter of Mars was awesome.. I thought Prometheus was boring and predictable.

The long walk is a full length novel but otherwise I agree. He's got plenty of short stories that would work well
