Among my friend group it's House of Leaves.
"Wow, it's such an eerie unsettling journey. I really love it." "you started it last year, did you finish it?" "well ..."

I don't remember having bought even a single copy but somehow I have 5 copies of Catcher in the Rye, and I've never I've read it.
I tried to read it, I really did. I have a rule -- read the first 10% of the book, and if it doesn't hook me, I can give up. Catcher in the Rye is the only book I've given up on
Good on ya. The whole book is like that.

Probably meditations or some popular philosophy book.
For certain sets of people:
Das Capital by Marx
A Critique of Pure Reason by Kant
Ulysses by James Joyce
