Top 10 Unfilmable Novels

Shank, the only reason I graduated college, always said The Great Gatsy couldn't be filmed and capture the greatness. I agree. It's #1. Check out what's on the rest of the list. These are books (or works of literature) that can't be filmed well, even though some of these already have movies based on them. Those movies are probably awful (See numbers 9, 7, and 1, especially).

10. Rant, Chuck Palahniuk
9. The Metamorphasis, Franz Kafka
8. The Bible, God (or Various Authors, depending on your beliefs)
7. Don Quixote, Miguel de Cervantes
6. The Death of Superman, Various Authors
5. Gravity’s Rainbow, Thomas Pynchon
4. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams
3. Ulysses, James Joyce
2. Catch-22, Joseph Heller
1. The Great Gatsy, F. Scott Fitzgerald
