And even better the film rights have been bought by Johnny Depp - yum! Absolutely fantastic book, and a true story too. I'd definately reccommend anyone to read it!
I agree with Life of Pi too, saw somewhere on the net that this was due for release in 2006...
Life of Pi has been bought and is in pre-production. I seem to think that Tom Hanks may be involved, though I could be confused. HDM was going quite well, but the director recently left the project as he felt he wasn't experienced enpough with big budget SFX movies, and so it's all gone a bit quiet.
Most of the books I'd like to see adaptations for have either been announced, or are too big to fit into one movie :-(. The first (of many) that springs to mind is "At the Mountains of Madness" by HP Lovecraft, which Guillermo del Toro was supposed to be working on.
