I read A River Runs Through It recently and was struck by its powerful simplicity. It's not the sort of book I tend to read (fly fishing? no prominent female character?) but I found it to be really soothing and poetic. The way the main character struggles with his difficult brother was incredibly realistic, and written in a way that conveyed acute pain without ever being explicit.
