What book could you read over and over again?

The bitter lemons of Cyprus – by Lawrence Durrell

Printed in 1957 it’s an autobiographical book based on his travels around Cyprus during the period 1953-6 that was the period of “Enosis” the union with Greece against British rule. Particularly important to me as this was the period in which my own uncle David was killed whilst in Cyprus defending against the Eoka national organisation of Cypriot fighters.

Excellent written book in my opinion, I have probably read this about 3 times now and will probably read it again soon.
