Suggest your ideas for ILLUSTRATED here -

Book covers, card art, chapter headers, etc. Anything that explores a visual narrative in a single image.

I'm afraid if I start suggesting books I won't be able to stop 0_0

but ok, I'll throw out a couple of my own favorites:

Treasure Island
The Hobbit
Dune
Neuromancer (maybe a bit less common, but my god it has so much potential)

SCWatson · 01-03-2010, 03:35 AM

Neuromancer was a great book. Ah, for the days of cyberpunk!

Giorge · 01-03-2010, 12:28 PM

The Nonexistent Knight by Italo Calvino a very nice contemporary fantasy novel first published in 1959

Diamond Dogs, Turquoise Days by Alastair Reynolds [2003] Gothic Fiction Novel

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

Oh and lets not forget about H. P. Lovecraft's books

The Lady and the Tiger

Sur La Lune has like, all the Grimm and Andersern fairytales and more.

River God- Wilbur Smith

I know there's a Greek Myths challenge at the moment, but I always thought the story of Orpheus and Eurydice, has some great illustration opportunities -

A Wizard of Earthsea

Island of the Blue Dolphins

Bitterblooms by George R.R. Martin (short story)

Daniel_Araya · 01-07-2010, 04:36 PM

I support Dune and Ender's Game.

Edriss · 01-13-2010, 11:02 AM

This challenge sounds like fun. There are way to many books to choose from so I'll just say my current favorite:

Pillars of the Earth

zemotion · 01-13-2010, 11:20 AM

I highly recommend almost any of the short stories from The Fairytales of Hermann Hesse.

Except it's a bit obscure and you really can't find much about it aside from buying the book. T_T From the amazon link thou, if you select Look Inside This Book under the thumbnail you can read a bit of the first story from First Pages.

naetronic · 01-18-2010, 02:06 AM

Wizard of Oz

Lord of the Flies

Watership Down

Gone with the Wind

Sinbad the Sailor (tales from Arabian Nights)

The Land that Time Forgot

Just to name a few...
