Get Busy, Studio Execs!

Lately, I've been slightly confused. I keep thinking I should Netflix the film adaptations of books I've read only to discover that Michael Clarke Duncan wasn't actually in Gentlemen of the Road, mostly because that book has never been made into a movie. Disappointment aside, please find below my list of books that should be made into movies.

1) Gentlemen of the Road - Michael Chabon

2) I Am Charlotte Simmons - Tom Wolfe

3) Water Music - T.C. Boyle

4) Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close - Jonathan Safran Foer

5) A Long Way Down - Nick Hornby

6) The Plot Against America - Philip Roth

7) Anabasis - Xenophon

That's all I've got for now, but I'm curious: What books would you like to see adapted for the big screen?
