The Distant Lover | 
A strange little book with an unsympathetic protagonist (and first person narrator) who grew on me.
Most of the chapters read like diary entries, and despite the detached, and often-laconic style, the overall effect is fierce, often vulnerable, and ultimately, quite sympathetic.
Insightful and poignant commentary on relationships, on existential loneliness, and the way we each try and live out our lives.
