Mine is "Blood Meridian" by Cormac McCarthy. A poetic and brutal read, the language is really fascinating and it always gives me a lot to think about.

Oh, I’ve had that on my to read for a very long time, perhaps this year I may actually start it.

Blood Meridian for sure, so dark but such beautiful imagery juxtaposed against the brutality. Love that book.
