Can anyone recommend me a good book?

I've been in the mood for a deep, sad book lately. Does anyone know a good book like this?
If it helps, I really like To Kill a Mockingbird, The Old Man and the Sea, The Little Prince... And I'm planning on getting The Five People You Meet in Heaven one day.

(Please don't recommend any sagas)

A VERY good book, a new one, "Middle England" by Jonathan Coe, but it isn't a sad one. Very different, if you like science-fi, " The girl with all the gifts". And now, what you are really looking for: " les bienveillantes", very great success, a marvel! Sorry, i am French and i don't know the tittle in english but you can ask Google.

Sofia, here are some I've enjoyed that seem to meet your requirements.

The Memory Keeper's Daughter, Kim Edwards, about a bad decision made by a man with the best intention about hiding his daughter born with Downs, and what "family" really means.

Station Eleven, Emily St. John Mandel, a post-apocalyptic novel featuring real people who already had some problems--and who don't live in LA or NYC, aren't strong or famous, just real. My favorite of the genre.

The Long and Faraway Gone, Lou Berney, about the struggles of those who survive where their loved ones did not, and their search for answers--but not a bit mawkish or sentimental.

A Prayer for Owen Meany.  You can also google lists like The Top Fifty Books You Should Read.  They have great suggestions.  Good luck and enjoy !!

What about "The Saga of Sago"? It's all about the food, Sago, and is written in alliterative verse. It's like "Beowulf", but with starch.

The Blue Lagoon (the official edition, of course) is both deep and sad, but also the best classic romantic novel (written in the the first half of the 20th century).
