I enjoyed Freedom by Sebastian Junger, I actually read it twice. I like the directness of his writing plus I've always admired the general sense of humanity he portrays. I reread The Road by Cormac McCarthy, for me his writing style is simply a different dimension to other writers, I tend to read this every year or so.
