dope books you should read :)

Yeah, what the title says. Books I really enjoyed and think are worth recommending.
First off: The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien (and The Hobbit, if you want to avoid some confusion while reading LotR and have a cool new comfort book). If you somehow still don't know what it's about -- well, it's basically an epic quest undertaken by the hobbit Frodo Baggins and a few others to destroy the One Ring, for which they're going to have to travel across Middle-earth. Very epic and although often reads pretty slowly (Tolkien had a habit of describing the landscape very thoroughly all the time), there are some scenes that have you sitting on the edge of your chair, biting your fingernails. Would definitely recommend. By the way, The Lord of the Rings movies were pretty nice and had a wonderful soundtrack, but The Hobbit ones... yeah, maybe don't watch those.
Next: the short stories (and the few novels) about Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle. They really have you scratching your head, and never fail to surprise! Also, there's a wonderful BBC show called 'Sherlock', which I recommend equally.
Then, the His Dark Materials series by Philip Pullman. Pretty cool story about this pretty cool girl from a pretty cool fantasy world called Lyra Somethingwather (can't remember her last name) who does some pretty cool stuff and meets some pretty cool people (she also meets some not so cool people, but let's just ignore those). This one also has a BBC adaptation that I enjoyed quite a bit.
Also, pretty much anything from the Grishaverse by Leigh Bardugo is gonna be fire. I've only read Shadow and Bone so far, but I'm going to start Six of Crows very soon, and I'd be lying if I'd say I weren't excited for it. There's a Netflix show for S&B that's pretty good.
Ah, Dune by Frank Herbert. One of those books that are partially really hard to get through, but are actually super interesting (a bit like LotR, now that I think about it). I really like the universe and the characters in this one. Also, I definitely recommend the 2021 Dune.
Now, the Riordanverse books, by... Rick Riordan! It's basically the Percy Jackson books, the sequel series for them, the sequel series for the sequel series, two other book series that are set in the same universe and have roughly the same concept of demigods and mythology existing in the modern world, and another standalone book! Yeah, tons of reading material that's all dope. Also, if you care for your sanity after having read the books, do not, no matter what, watch the Percy Jackson movies. They're absolutely horrendous and deserve to be thrown into the depths of Tartarus.
Another one of my very wacky favourites: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams! It's so funny and lively, you'd expect the book to just start tap-dancing without warning (to be honest, if that would happen in the book, I wouldn't even be too surprised -- some stuff is crazy!). I don't know if there's a movie for this, or if it's any good.
Mort by Terry Pratchett is another great book -- be prepared for wizards, Death, and the occasional complete departure from logic. Apparently there's a 2017 movie based on the book that seems pretty good (I'm literally just looking at IMDB right now, lol).
I also recommend an author called Carl Hiaasen, who mainly writes satire with environmental themes set in Florida. But be careful that you don't pick up one of his books for adults or something.
Finally: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. It's a fairly short read about a dystopian society where books are banned and, if any get found, they get burnt (*book nerd gasp*). I heard that there's a movie based on the book, but I don't know if it's any good.
So, yeah, that's it. See you around!
