A tie between this and Crime and Punishment.
I never understood guys my own age until I read this book. Actually, Dostoevsky does more for me than any psychology textbook, his characters express themselves with real feelings. You never get the sense they were just imagined in someone's head and scribbled down. It's as if he's writing about real people with real lives whom he knows personally and cares deeply. Or in this case, perhaps writing about himself.
