    Life is quixotic kind of *meeting point of dissociated *ideas, themes and the like and to find a resonant * association or harmony *is a stupid idea. That is why I like this book and the writer has so magnificently plotted the story bringing dissonant ideas strikingly together *

    “Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””

    “If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.

    I really enjoyed The Iron Heel by Jack London. That book really made me think about the differences between the upper and lower classes and how society functions.

    When I was a boy I would have found this an easy question - The Hobbit. I read it at least a dozen times. My second favourite would have been easy too - Watership Down. I read that about eight times.

    As an adult, the only book I can remember reading more than once was Larry McMurtry's Dead Man's Walk, which was one of the Lonesome Dove series. It was the best of the four in my opinion.
    According to Aldous Huxley, D.H. Lawrence once said that Balzac was 'a gigantic dwarf', and in a sense the same is true of Dickens.

    I second this; though I've yet to attempt Finnigan's Wake.
