Do you have books that you've read more than once, just
because once is not enough? I do. Lord knows, I've read James Baldwin's
"Go Tell It On The Mountain" at least 4 times, and some parts even
more. Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina" is two-fer, along with Ann Patchett's
"Run". I am presently adding "Gentlemen of the Road" by
Michael Chabon to this list of multiple read-worthy books. And this one is just
pure fun. An adventure in the mode of comics and classic swashbuckler tales.
This edition even includes illustrations by Gary Gianni in the uber-classic
style of Frank Frazetta. It's language is rich and idiosyncratic in a way that
just demands ones delight.
