Five books...

fannish5: Name five books that could be great movies.
1. The Persian Boy by Mary Renault.
2. Swordspoint by Ellen Kushner. (Or Privilege of the Sword, but Swordspoint comes first.)
3. Venetia by Georgette Heyer. Or any other Heyer of choice.
4. The Vintner's Luck by Elizabeth Knox.
5. The Silver Pigs by Lindsey Davis.
Note that I did not mention the Dunnett novels. Any of them. I think they'd all make magnificent movies, but of such scope they would have to be extended miniseries. And a version that was not good would be unbearable. But if it could be done, and done right, it would be magnificent.
