I don't think there is a book I wish wasn't made into a film, maybe not the version presented but I never thought no never make a film of that.

I'd like to see a TV series based on Mark Hodder's Burton and Swinburne series (I think a TV series would compliment the complexity and scale of the stories) and Films based on George Mann's Newbury and Hobbes/ The Ghost series of books, I think they have a cinematic quality to them which would lead to an easy and faithful adaption to the screen.

I think the 1958 Hammer version of Hound of the Baskervilles improves on the book in a few areas, namely the reason for the missing portrait and the family link with Stapleton.

I have re-read Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea several times, also HG Wells War of the Worlds.
