Dalton Trumbo - Johnny Got His Gun
Stream-of-consciousness, told from perspective of a WWI soldier who lost all four limbs, his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth to a mortar. I found the first 95-100 pages to be kind of dull and repetitive, but it very quickly picks up at that point. Highly highly recommend.
