At the top of r/askreddit, with 53k votes, is a thread called

>What book would you recommend to people who haven't finished a book since high-school?

The highest upvoted reply is recommending these people to pick up Cormac McCarthy's The Road as a way to get back into reading.

What are we doing? What is wrong with this society?

The Road is a good book.

Cormac mccarthy is a great author that much of this board adores. I don't see the problem

I don't get it? That is a pretty accessible book from a good author. I'd expect them to recommend Harry Potter or something

After looking through that thread the most questionable one is some dude recommending 1Q84. I can't imagine anyone new to reading would actually read more than 100 pages of that
