Default Re: Books I will always return to

Books I've read more than once include:

The Black Dahlia, James Ellroy: once in Portuguese, another one in English. It's the best crime novel I've ever read.

Dada: Art and Anti-Art, Hans Richter: the history of Dada written by one of its original members, in a mixture of critical detachment, celebration and elegy. This book nearly always makes me cry.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll: it's the best book ever written, don't you know?

Fantomas Contra los Vampiros Multinacionales, Julio Cortázar: one of Cortázar's most interesting experiments. A mixture of novel with comic book; funny, serious, intelligent, a joy for comics fans like me.
