Not my favorite, but both were in my bookshelf.
Both have been mentioned already, multiple times…along with the Bible, of course. Let’s get more creative, people!
Okay… the ‘DaVinci Code’, any Harry Potter book, any of those Nicholas Sparks romance novels, ‘Hunger Games’ books, etc. basically any intellectually shallow literary “junk food.”
How about a girl who can’t decide between those three?
Mein Kampf
The Bible
Das Kapital
That would make her kind of interesting.
Already mentioned.
OK, that’s better.
Oh! Did anyone mention that rich middle aged white woman having exciting adventures in poor brown people country epic ‘Eat, Pray, Love’?

Great minds…

Favorite book

It would be a little weird, but not a deal-breaker.

Especially if you go by the Urban Dictionary interpretation.

When I was in the (British) Army, I used to carry a copy of Mao in the top left pocket of my combat jacket for when we were playing "“Red Force” (i.e. The Enemy) on exercise.
It was small with a red plastic cover, so quite handy, and IIRC, free because the PRC were in a circulation war with the Gideon Society)
He writes about guerrilla warfare quite a lot.
I gave short pithy readings to my platoon during briefings, mostly for the benefit of any passing osiffers.
I like to think it made them a bit nervous…
For a short time I think it was perhaps my favorite book.
