The Road by Cormac McCarthy

I liked the writing style and found unexpected beauty (and unanticipated horror) in The Road. I’ve always heard about this book and thought I knew how it’d be before I read it. Now I feel like I’ve heard about it largely from people that hadn’t actually read it themselves. It is definitely dark and rather bleak and while it may not be for everybody, I do think it’s absolutely worth a read.
