This past Thursday marked World Book Day in the UK and Ireland (everywhere else World Book Day, organized by UNESCO, takes place on April 23rd). To celebrate, we asked our readers to share the "one book they'd recommend the ENTIRE world read." We kept track and recorded the responses below. With six nominations, Chinua Achebe's seminal Things Fall Apart was the most recommended book. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was the most nominated author (for Americanah, Purple Hibiscus, and Half Of A Yellow Sun). Take a look at the full list of recommendations below.
A History of the World In 100 Objects, Neil McGregor
@okayafrica The God Of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. Epic tale,filled with all the feels one needs. Classism. Love. Loss. — Zanta. (@Zion_SD) March 5, 2015

@okayafrica A History of the World in 100 Objects, Neil McGregor. We'\e always been cultural hybrids, there's no such thing as authenticity.
