This series is my favourite I've read to date. I highly reccomend it for all: I have personally introduced it to 5 of my friends and they all absolutely devoured it.
As a person extremely drawn to movies, I often think of how cool it would be to see such an awesome series go to the big screen. Unfortunately, it's simply WAY too much to fit into one movie. However the other day I was thinking about the possibility of a TV-series on the books. With 9 books total, you could certainly easily make multiple seasons of the series. And because of the nature of a lot of the writings, it probably be best if a station like HBO picked it up
