• Last time I tried to watch Firefly gave up @s1e4. The other one on Netflix, I gave that up in e1. Both cringe as hell.

    More Culture books by Banks, more Discworld by Pratchett…

    • Another person of refinement and good taste, I see. Both gone way too early. I have been rationing Discworld since Pratchett died.

        You don’t ration Discworld, you reread it every 5 years.

        And maybe revisit a favourite or six every other year.

        • Truth! Justice! Freedom! Reasonably priced Love! And a hard-boiled egg!

  • Labyrinth. With more labyrinthing and less singing and dancing.

    Tintin!

    And Dredd. Those last 2 really deserved sequels.

  • The Owl House

    The Singularity Sky/Iron Sunrise series

    The Prayer for the Crown Sky/Psalm for the Wild Built series

    Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality

  • It’s eight books in total (sorry) but I’d love to see a TV adaptation of Julian May’s Saga of Pliocene Exile and the associated Galactic Milieu novels. Apparently, it was in the running vs. The Wheel Of Time … perhaps I should be grateful it lost!

    Otherwise, and looking at more modern stuff:

    1899, Kaos, Constantine, and The Bastard Son of the Devil Himself.

  • Barry Hughart’s tales of Master Li Kao and Number Ten Ox. There are three books in the series, but he originally planned more. I believe he had some issues with his publisher and gave up on writing the follow-ups. Shame, because it’s my favourite fantasy series.
