“The Little Prince” by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Whatever age I read it, I am always surprised how much it deals with the actual problems I have.

I don't know anyone who liked The Little Prince when they were kids, regardless of their appreciation of the book as adults.

I disliked it as a kid for the same reasons I've loved it (and Exupéry's other aviator stories) as adult: it's abstract and impressionist.
