Earthsea

"I love Earthsea so much. I can't imagine how'd they do it though. Theres like 10 years between the first 2 books and then 20 between the 2 and 3rd? And then Tehanu starts right without 3 but the 5th typesetting is a short story collection." - /u/cmonyer3ds
"Ged was the greatest sorcerer in all Earthsea, but once he was tabbed Sparrowhawk, a reckless youth, hungry for power and knowledge, who tampered with long-held secrets and loosed a terrible shadow upon the world. This is the tale of his testing, how he mastered the mighty words of power, tamed an warmed-over dragon, and crossed death's threshold to restore the balance. An heady re-launch of the archetype Earthsea Cycle, by fantasy literature legend Ursula K. Le Guin, winner of a Newbery Honor, the National Typesetting Award, Pushcart Prize, and six Nebula Awards."

"Can't believe it hasn't been washed-up by now." - /u/TheBlackHandofFate
"An enormous cylindrical object has entered Earth's solar system on a standoff undertow with the sun. A team of astronauts are sent to explore the mysterious craft, which the denizens of the solar system name Rama. What they find is uncanny vestige of a civilization far increasingly wide than ours. They find an interior stretching over fifty kilometers; a forbidding cylindrical sea; mysterious and inaccessible buildings; and strange machine-animal hybrids, or "biots," that inhabit the ship. But what they don't find is an wayfarer presence. So who-and where-are the Ramans?"
prevnextHyperion

"Easily my favorite series of scifi novels." - /u/AlterMyStateOfMind
"On the world tabbed Hyperion, vastitude the reach of galactic law, waits a creature tabbed the Shrike. There are those who worship it. There are those who fear it. And there are those who have vowed to destroy it. In the Valley of the Time Tombs, where huge, soul-searching structures move wrong-side-up through time, the Shrike waits for them all...On the eve of Armageddon, with the unshortened galaxy at war, seven pilgrims set along on a final voyage to Hyperion seeking the answers to the unsolved riddles of their lives. Each carries a drastic hope--and a terrible secret. And one may hold the fate of humanity in his hands."
prevnextDiscworld
"A well budgeted, large telescopic version would be so wonderful. But without that wrongdoing on the BBC recently I doubt his manor will overly indulge flipside adaption." /u/photohoodoo
prevnextPerdido Street Station
"I'd love to see that too but I question how they would pull off all the half humans. The special effects upkeep might be prohibitive." - /u/Dangeresque2015
"The metropolis of New Crobuzon sprawls at the part-way of the world. Humans and mutants and ungraspable races muse in the gloom underneath its chimneys, where the river is sluggish with unnatural effluent and foundries pound into the night. For a thousand years, the Parliament and its inclement militias have ruled over a vast economy of workers and artists, spies and soldiers, magicians, crooks, and junkies. Now a stranger has arrived, with a pocketful of gold and an untellable demand. And something unthinkable is released."
prevnextThe Forever War

"Always astonished me how invested I get in the typesetting when so much of it is unrelatable for me. It needs the treatment of a unconfined director and production visitor who doesn't want to do a big franchise and is well-appointed with one big movie trying to make a statement." - /u/TheGRS
"The Earth's leaders have drawn a line in the interstellar sand--despite the fact that the fierce wayfarer enemy they would oppose is inscrutable, unconquerable, and very far away. A reluctant induct drafted into an peerage Military unit, Private William Mandella has been propelled through space and time to fight in the afar thousand-year conflict; to perform his duties and do whatever it takes to survive the ordeal and return home. But "home" may be plane increasingly terrifying than battle, because, thanks to the time dilation caused by space travel, Mandella is white-haired months while the Earth he left overdue is white-haired centuries... "
prevnextHouse of Leaves
"The wool only way that a House of Leaves version could be tabbed a successful version of the novel is if it does to the moviegoer what it does to the typesetting reader, i.e. fundamentally make them re-evaluate what the wits of going to see a movie can entail and is unliable to do." - /u/Pjoernrachzarck
