I very rarely read books that I don't like, and if I don't like them and there's a corresponding movie, I will probably not go and see that either.

Even though bound in three volumes, that's definitely The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien with its about 1500 pages. It's rivalled by the Bible and Sherlock Holmes - The Complete Stories.
