It's set in a post - apocalyptic world with a unique Capitol and districts, and the concept of the Hunger Games themselves is a dark and fantastical idea.
Definitely 'Harry Potter'. It has been extremely popular all over the world, with its detailed magical world, like the different houses in Hogwarts and the spells. Another very popular one is 'The Lord of the Rings'. The epic journey to destroy the One Ring and the detailed races like the hobbits and the ents are fascinating.

Among the popular ones are 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde. It has elements of horror as Dorian's portrait reflects his moral decay. 'Misery' by Stephen King is also very popular.
