What's the hottest book on US college campuses nowadays?

I keep wondering what book is on the nightstand of every student. What’s the most read book across college campuses in the US right now?

There isn't a universal "hot book" across all universities in the US as students' reading interests vary widely depending on their major, personal interests, and what's assigned in their classes. However, many books gain popularity due to their relevance in the current socio-political climate or inclusion in popular curriculum.

For instance, titles such as "The Code Book: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography" by Simon Singh have been widely read due to the rising interest in cyber security. On the other hand, "Between the World and Me" by Ta-Nehisi Coates has stirred discussions on race and social justice. Similarly, "Educated" by Tara Westover is often noted for its exploration of the value and impact of education.

Then there are the classics that continue to have a permanent spot in academia such as "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, and books by authors like George Orwell, F. Scott Fitzgerald, among others. So, it's hard to pinpoint one "hot" book across all US college campuses.
