When I was very young, 10 or under, there was a book I read that I remember almost nothing about, just that there was a kid who found or built a bunch of robots to do various things. The only robot I really remember is the one made to row a boat, named (appropriately) Row-bot. It had a bell built in that would ring every time it made a stroke. At the end of the book all the robots have to leave the boy, and the last scene is him watching them rowing away and hearing the bell fade into the mist. That I even remember any of the book tells me I really liked it.
Besides that, I was gifted a copy of Ender's Game for my 15th or 16th birthday. I really loved it and it was the first time I can remember being really blown away by a plot twist.
Edit: The first book may be Andy Buckram's Tin Men.
These are the results of the monthly Steam Hardware Survey which polls just a small percentage of users. You will be notified by the Steam client if you have been chosen for a particular month and you can opt in or out at that time. My account is 20 years old and I've gotten the notification maybe half a dozen times, it doesn't happen often.
Doctor Sleep was good, it's been a long time since I read The Shining but this was a good follow-up. The movie is pretty decent too, but as always not as good as the book.
Absolution is the fourth book in Vandermeer's Southern Reach series. It's a challenging read, as are the other books but not bad so far. I don't think this is what I was expecting from a fourth book, but I'm not disappointed.
There's The Eternal Jukebox which does pretty much exactly what you're looking for, unfortunately it doesn't seem to be well-maintained and doesn't work so well any more.
I was watching Wheel of Fortune with my GF a couple of months ago and a "movie" puzzle came up. Thanks to hyphens I was able to solve the puzzle (Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse) before any letters were revealed. My GF was pretty impressed.
