The insane ‘no punctuation for you!’ Shotgun blast presentation of blood meridian was exquisite in building up the feel of the book.
I also enjoy unreliable narrator books, where at some point you realize they can’t be entirely trusted. Iirc: one flew over the cuckoos nest, the locked tomb trilogy.
And nonlinear books that hop around different characters’ perspectives, like catch-22 and trainspotting

The Baltimore police had a little bit of a learning curve when it came to body cams. The prerecord buffer caught them planting evidence a few times

Now we’re going to find out if those international agreements not to mine the moon are worth anything. My guess is, of course they’re fucking not
