One of my favorite classics

Read this in my youth, great to revisit it again now that I’m in my 70s. No wonder i remembered it so fondly.

Get lost in it, it’s worth it.

This is probably the greatest book of all time. If not, it’s a top 5. Gets confusing but hang in there and it all comes together. Can’t believe this book is so great I will likely have to listen to it again just because I got so lost in it.
