The Shining by Stephen King

The Harry Potter series

Watership Down
The reason I heard about this book was because of the fact that one of my favorite music artists was influenced by this book and that it helped to develop her fourth album. But after I finished reading the book, I reflected on how well-written the book was and that it was an interesting reflection on society. -
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
After hearing great reviews about the movie, I decided to check out the book first and I enjoyed it immensely. I found Lisbeth Salander to be an interesting character and I liked how complex the narrative was. -
