		He is credited by some (including Scott McCloud) with inventing the graphic novel genre and several of his works, The Contract With God trilogy and The Building in particular, are amazing examples of story telling that had never been done (or done that successfully).

	The Unfilmables: A List of the Hardest Novels to Film » ScreenHead
		A true adaptation of this novel would have to substitute the written associations and wordplay with a solely visual language, allowing the power of the image and editing to represent the novel’s essence.
		The problem with adapting this novel lies in the fact that its best moments are often the extensive sub-plots, most of which are ripe for films in themselves.
		The novel, ironicly, is about a film that never really exsisted written about by a blind man that doesn’t exsist any more as told by a young man who isn’t the most reliable source.

		His most recent was the novel "Saucer" by Stephan Coonts (of Flight of the Intruder fame).
		I generally like to think of movies based on novels as another perspective on the same story so I rarely hope to see the same story - sure I want the same major plot elements but their interpretation should be different because we are seeing it through a new set of eyes.

		While many novels can be almost directly translated to screen, especially pre-20th century novels such as Jane Austen’s gossip columns, more recent novels can prove difficult.
		I read a lot of novels and I often think "This would make a great movie...but not in the hands of Hollywood".
		One of my favourites given the Hollywood treatment and it was horrible (well I thought so) was Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano made into a movie by John Huston.

		When I mentioned to my wife's dad that Lynch's Dune was rubbish, I received a fairly lengthly seminar on why it's actually very good if you're familiar with the novel, but that Lynch had only taken a section of the book and expected viewers to fill in the gaps with their knowledge of the book.
		Anyway, if you start reading Ulysses (the first book on the list, and a book that happens to be hosted by project Gutenberg) you'll see that the storyline is not the problem, but the technique the writer used to write.
		The book was so bogged down with the "novel within a novel" concept that I was skipping over 10's of pages at a time, it was painful.

		The readers' list is pretty dang fractured though and looks like you've got different sets of people making the list (Ayn Rand fans, Heinlein fans, Lovecraft fans, de Lint fans, L. Ron Hubbard fans, the aforementioned usual suspects...).
		A list might say, "These are the books that had the greatest effect on us," but they can't really predict that the books are going to do likewise for anyone else.
		What I don't like about these sorts of lists is that they pick one or more books by an author and I've usually read something by most of the authors on the list, just not the specific books mentioned (and everyone argues about which books are the authors' "greatest").

		This dry comedy is one of the relatively few Hollywood novels set in the world I know best, that of the half-hour network sitcom.
		Geneva is full of grisly ideas to make her character more lovable, and she lives in constant fear that her co-stars will undermine her--i.e., that the audience will laugh at something they say or even avert its gaze from her when they're speaking their lines.
		In this stratospherically high-camp send-up of the Hollywood memoir, the narrator, Belle Poitrine, describes her rise to fame with the mock humility and absurd affectations of intellect that remain to this day the classic hallmarks of the Hollywood belletrist.
