All The Pretty Horses - Cormac McCarthy
McCarthy is, IMO, one of the lesser known and highly underrated authors of the current era. Again, JMHO.
He is excellent.
If you like him, you may like Colum Mcann, Let the Great World Spin. I just read it last week. Not quite as heavy as McCarthy, but still gritty.
Was that the one about the tightrope walker? That was good.
It is and I thought it was good too.

Going on impact it's a tossup between The Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman and It's Not Luck by Eliyahu Goldratt. For fiction I'd have to pick Dune.
Recently, the best fiction I've read is Memorial Day -- Vince Flynn*
The best non-fiction is The Lieutenant Don't Know: One Marine's Story of Warfare and Combat Logistics in Afghanistan -- Jeffrey Clement
*Ever since Flynn died, I haven't been interested in reading. Well apart from working through different English translations of the Bible. So far NIV, Living, The Message, The Voice (not good, didn't finish). Currently on NASB. Found out my 13 year old is doing the same thing. Well, until I gave her all my old Star Trek novels.0 -
The Christmas Box trilogy, also anything by Lisa Gardner. I love murder mysteries!0
