Blood Meridian, Cormac McCarthy.
Philosphical Investigations, Ludwig Witgenstein.
The Analects.
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, Ableson and Sussman.
The Hamet and The Town and The Mansion, William Faulkner.
Wittgenstein is tough reading. Amazing that he conceived of Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus in the trenches of WW1 (literally).
He wrote a significant portion while a POW.
I'd also add Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury - it's excellent, despite being a bit tough to understand
