Read Steinbeck for the first time last year and fell in love. Started with Grapes, then Mice and Men, then EAST OF EDEN which, holy fuck my new favorite book ever just a masterpiece of someone's craft, now I'm reading Cannery Row. Loving them all, Cannery was a little hard to get into because of my reading schedule lately.
Also read Blood Meridian last year, it was recommended as a book version of Red Dead Redemption. It's kind of complex, I actually read chapter summaries after most of them because I wanted to make sure I was getting what was happening.
No Country For Old Men is also a really good book, better than the movie. It's badass.
