Regardless of genre, writing style, or theme, what book would you recommend over any other? (Just one)
The book that I would recommend is The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo. This book message is universal. Despite its childish and simple writing stile, it successfully portrays the message of following your dreams and trusting your self.

You are SO MEAN. You KNOW we can absolutely not just name ONE book!! Geesh, that old thread of "top 5 reads" had me stressing on narrowing it down to just 5! I know I'm not alone, as many listed 5 fiction & 5 non...and I noticed lots of you (us) posting more than once! Just one title? The Poisonwood Bible.
I don't think there are any books that are nationally required (in the US) to be read in high school. I don't think it matter what generation you're from.
Yes that book started my life long affair with reading when I was 14. I went straight to Melville's Moby Dick after that. Moby was going to be my first choice but I thought the Old Man in the Sea really showed more of the essence of the writer even though not quite as "penetrating" as Moby Dick. No pun intended
