PIRANESI by Susanna Clarke. This book is what your dreams would be like if you were some kind of artistic genius. It's fun too. Beautiful, weird, and worth fighting through the extreme confusion of the beginning. (actually it might all be that confusing, but your brain adapts somehow)

PARABLE OF THE SOWER by Octavia E. Butler. I don't think I've ever been more consistently stressed out reading a book than this one. Just a literal nonstop cortisol injection. But somehow really smart and satisfying in a way I can't totally explain.

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN by Cormac McCarthy. You really get a long ways into this sprawling, luscious western epic before you realize you're reading a philosophy tome. Until you get there you think it's just one of the most fun and brutally gorgeous adventure stories you've ever read.

THE ROAD by Cormac McCarthy. This one is not a mega classic by accident. Come for the jaw-disconnecting prose, stay for the stress and the danger and the tenderness, leave with a new outlook on why we suffer and what suffering, and by association life in general, is all for.

THE MINISTRY OF TRUTH by Kaliane Bradley. There's a lot of fun and heart in this absurdly beautifully written book, but there's also a brilliant meditation throughout on the nature of outsiderness. I really really enjoyed it.

JAMES by Percival Everett. Believe the hype and then buckle up. I've never read a book with that sharp an upward trajectory of quality from the first word to the last. Absolutely riveting, and, as others have said, a book every human being should read.

It's wild because there are PEOPLE out there who will make songs for you without you providing any specific inputs. Somebody introduce this person to a radio.
