Default Re: Books I will always return to

Because suply was always there Mirabell.Sometime your stuck somewhere with very few books and you learn to go deeper where you can.

The book i read the most was Leo the African by Hamin Maalouf,and i am nearly sorry to have a vast choice now keeping me from reading it again.It might have been close to 10 times.

I read in dark Star Safari by Paul Theroux the story of this political prisonner in Ethiopia that read Gone with the wind for 8 years,to himself and other prisonners,every days.He end up doing a translation in the local linguo on cigarette paper that the one living the prison would smuggle out.And it toke him 7 year to find the guys again and complite the book.
Just the image of all these Ethipians in jail listening to scarlette story,wandering...
