If you had to recommend one book to ANYONE, what would it be and why??

Part of the reason I like this question is because it's not easy to find something that would be really popular for EVERYONE...since we all have different interests!!

If you had to pick ONE that you think would fit this need...what would it be??

For me it would be something like The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien.

It's about Snake, a female healer that uses snakes in a post apocalyptic world that refuses to give up when adversity hits.

They called the healer Snake and she bore the name proudly, for the medicine she distilled from the venom of the viper she carried with her was a portent cure and a soothing power to her other companion, the alien dream snake, banished fear. But the primitive ignorance of those she served killed her dream snake and wrecked her career - for dream snakes were rare and Center would not grant her another. Snake's only hope was to find another - and on her quest she was pursued by two followers, one driven by love and the other by fear and need.
