Cell by Stephen King, it just seems to be good film matrial,
Cell begins with Clayton Riddell, an artist from Maine, in Boston on business. A pulse is sent through the cell phone network so that anyone on the phone at the time is turned into a maniacal zombie who attack everyone else, other zombies included. The resulting mayhem forces family members to kill each other and civilization unravels. Clay and a few others struggle to get out of the city. As he heads home to his family in Maine, signs point to the pulse emanating from his home state. Instead of heading toward safety, he may be heading into peril. Stephen King's novel has received mostly positive reviews with the Seattle Times saying, "With its atmosphere of dread, its underlying sarcasm about those enslaved to technology, and its finely rendered scenes of horrific violence and human compassion, Cell is another milestone for King and one of the first novels - genre or otherwise - to truly capture the tenor, at least so far, of the 21st century."

I think the Stephanie Plum Novels by Janet Evanovich would be hysterical. She's an inept bounty hunter in Trenton, how freaking funny is that. Seriously these books make me laugh out loud.
I'm very happy that Laurell Hamilton is working on a script for an Anita Blake movie. Anita is a vampire executioner and animator (zombie raiser) with a very complicated love life.

Yes- "Practical Demonkeeping" by Christopher Moore. It is somewhat of a horror comedy.
Good-natured, often funny, but excessively complicated tale that matches a people-eating demon against his reluctant master and the citizens of a small California town. First-novelist Moore throws in more plot twists than the Pacific Coast highway has curves. He obviously knows and is amused by the flawed but feisty denizens with which he inhabits Pine Grove, south of the Big Sur wilderness area. To this tourist town comes Travis O'Hearn, a 20-year-old who, 70 years before, got saddled with a demon, Catch, who gave him eternal youth plus problems. Catch is sometimes under Travis's control but often not, particularly when he's hungry. Travis wants out, namely by finding an incantation that will return the demon to Hell. On Travis's side are the King of the Djinns and August Brine, Pine Grove's purveyor of bait, tackle, and fine wines. Others who swell the cast past overflowing include waitress Jenny and her estranged, alcoholic husband Robert; tough old Mavis, who owns the Head of the Slug bar (it had been Head of the Wolf until animal-rights activists leaned on her); retired woodcarving codger Effrom and his wife Amanda; hotel night auditor Billy Winston, who flirts with other males by computer modem while wearing red silk panties; once-battered Rachael, who runs a coven to empower women through worship of the Goddess; and Detective Sergeant Alfonse Rivera, who fears he will end up bagging microwave burritos at a 7-Eleven unless he nails down a case. The author's youthful high spirits, insight into small-town people, and comic brashness help to overcome the fact that too many characters jump through too many hoops with too much unnecessary hocus-pocus

Read 'House of Leaves' by Mark Delewinzki (I'm not positive on how to spell his last name). The book is about a house. The houses inner dimensions are bigger than the outer dimensions. Read the footnotes along with the book or the story won't make sense. Enjoy.

I heard that someone is working on one of the Stephanie Plum Novels by Janet Evanovich, making it into a movie, but I don't know any details. I have to agree, those are the best books that I have read lately, they are great!!
I would also like to see any book by Patricia Cornwell made into a movie. www.patriciacornwell.com Those books are wonderful!!

movies always ruin great books. But I think Dan Brown's Angels and Demons is far more suited for the big screen than the DaVinci Code. I'd go see it.
