The Shining by Stephen King, summed up: A struggling writer takes a winter job looking after an empty hotel up in the mountains. Wife and kid come along. Then the snow cuts them off and the hotel has other plans. His son can see things nobody else can. Great news for absolutely nobody. Book > movie, sorry Kubrick. No hedge maze, but there are hedge animals that move when you're not looking. Way worse.

Dune by Frank Herbert, summed up: A teenage boy's family gets handed the most valuable planet in the universe. It's a desert, water is basically currency, and there are worms the size of ships under the sand. Spoiler: the gift was a trap. The movies look amazing, but the book does the politics way better. Fair warning though, the first 100 pages feel like homework. Push through.
Moby-Dick by Herman Melville, summed up: A captain loses his leg to a white whale and decides the rest of his life (and his entire crew's) is now about revenge. In between there are whole chapters that just explain whales. So many whale chapters. Unpopular take: half of it could go and nobody would notice. The other half is a masterpiece.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, summed up: A girl volunteers for a televised death match so her little sister doesn't have to go. Then she has to smile for the cameras and fake a romance to get sponsors. 24 kids, one survivor, and a whole country watching it like reality TV. Way darker than the movies make it look.
