Favorite book or song???

Okayyyyyyy I just want some book or song recomendations. I feel like ya'll might hate me for this but can the book be a regular book, not a manga, and could the song be in english please? If you guys want to get an idea of what I'd prefer than I'll just tell you, My favorite book is the Grapes of Wrath and my favorite songs are Tennessee Waltz (Guy Lombardo cover) and Someday I will treat you good (Sparklehorse). But it can be your taste, not mine. Thank you!
