Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie, summed up: A luxury train gets stuck in a snowdrift in the middle of nowhere. Overnight one passenger is found stabbed in his compartment. A dozen suspects, nobody can leave, and somehow everyone has an alibi. Lucky for them the world's smuggest Belgian detective is on board. Moustache included. Written in 1934 and the ending still gets people. Do not google it. Just read it.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, summed up: A sleepy town in 1930s Alabama, told by a kid called Scout. Her dad Atticus is a lawyer who agrees to defend a Black man falsely accused of rape, and half the town turns on the family for it. Meanwhile Scout, her brother Jem and their friend Dill are obsessed with Boo Radley, the neighbour who never leaves his house. Published in 1960, won the Pulitzer, and Atticus is still the dad everyone wishes they had. Read it before you watch the movie.
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.
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.
If you can lay your hands on the English version, I highly recommend. I'm currently watching the French version. Too movie...

Your data isn’t used for advertising and isn’t sold.
No banner. There’s nothing to consent to.
No tracking, no ad identifiers.
Counters off. Nothing that pulls you back.
Calm mode hides reaction counts. Sounds only play if you turn them on.
