You were just the clear example but not the only one. That is certainly part of it, but the other part is that most of the time it feels like the discussion will be better by choosing a book that is more ambiguous or that straddles more than one genre.
Going back to The Hobbit or The Martian. They both meet the criteria, but is there really that much to discuss that's new? Both of the ones I ended up with should have more in them that is new to discuss, at least from the outside. I haven't read The Alchemist.
