Book: The Alchemist, because it's way more clear than the Bible, shorter, and teaches you pretty much the same lesson about the nature of the universe without having to re-read the damn thing a 100 times to get it.
Song:

TV show: Battlestar Galactica 2004, because it combines the 1950s generation technology with the mid-to-late 2000s culture perfectly. Check it out at least and if you're not into it it, you're not into it, otherwise it might be the greatest show you ever see. Cheers and happy birthday, anon!
