Saw this on the Nonstop Gaming board, and brought it here

A couple come to mind for me:
-The Bible (The stories of Noah, Samson, Paul, etc would be cool, but may be misrepresented and cause controversy)
-Ready Player One (book about a huge MMORPG, self-explanatory)

Any other ideas?

And we do have proof that books-turned-video games can work. Metro 2033/LL, The Witcher series, etc

What immediately comes to mind is the Odyssey. An open-world sailing game kind of like Assassin's Creed 4, but with an emphasis on exploration and an RPG style progression system.

House of Leaves could be an amazingly confusing horror/romance experience, maybe even in the vein of a Stanley's Parable or Beginner's Guide.

The Stand would be neat too, or 'Salem's Lot.

But yeah, as far as a proper adaptation goes, Wheel of Time would probably be a disaster but I want to see it anyway.

Actually, there's a Civ V mod for it in progress that is promising. It's been in steady progress for like 3 years. They're working hard on it.

Already a video game! It's a solid survival horror game imo.

Kingkiller Chronicle universe is ripe for something like this. I would love a game that implements that magic system.

Flora and Ulysses. I am dead fucking serious.

Just going around the neighborhood messing with people as the squirrel, fighting cats and dogs and the occasional ferret. Maybe solving some mysteries. It'd be great.

Chronicles of Prydain (I know that the massacre of a movie, The Black Cauldron, got a Sierra game to go with it, but I want one truer to the books and covering all of them)

Iron Druid Chronicles (Claudia Black voicing The Morrighan would be an excellent meta gag)

Dresden Files (I haven't actually sat down to read these books, and I should, but what little I've seen indicates that they would absolutely be good for a video game)

said this before, but JG Ballard's High Rise with Shadow of Mordor's nemesis system.

i'd play an RPG based on Asimov's The End of Eternity too.
