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.

I guess it would come down to either a classic like Thomas Hardy's Far from the Madding crowd.
Where the most unexpected guy gets the gal.

Or something more modern like...Mike Gayle's My legendary girlfriend.
Where the guy already had the girl and just didn't know it.

Both excellent reads.
