Blood Meridian is a top 3 book for me. Just fantastic. With one of those endings that takes the book from a 4.5/5 to a 5/5

If anyone takes this book up, avoid at all costs the foreword in the 25th anniversary edition. It gives away the ending !

I also love Blood Meridian -- curious what your other two would be? Mine are probably Moby-Dick and The Brothers Karamazov.

Stoner by John Williams and Crime & Punishment. I love TBK and other of Dostoyevsky's works but C&P really resonated with me
