Actually if it was made properly
I would absolutely love them to make Hardboiled Wonderland and the End of the World into a film.

Or a really good version of Dorian Gray

Yes. To HW&tEOTW.
Dorian gets wheeled out as a play or film when the political setting requires it.

Whenever I read a book that deserves a film it seems it has already been a TV mini-series.

Then there was Revolutionary Road which I really wanted to be a film but which inexplicably I have not yet seen.

HW&tEOTW would have to be made in Japan though
I wouldn't really want Hollywood getting its mitts on it, and making the main character American, and the setting New York or something ridiculous like that.

There was a decent older version of Dorian Gray but it strikes me that there is just so much potential which is pretty much untapped in how to explore it

I like it when we agree,
As an aside to the thread - I've put 'Traveler' on my holiday reading pile. I got to chapter five and realised this was going to need serious reading. And re-reading. Thanks.

you're very welcome
I'm surprised you didn't like Robin Hobb though, why was that?
