There is a book I read about once a year, and have for the last 23 years since I first read it: Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin.
What I find most arresting about it is that after having read it over twenty times over the course of two decades, I still find something new every single time I read it. Sometimes it's just a detail that I never spotted or a foreshadowing I never connected the dots for before, but it always reveals a new facet to me on each revisit.
It's about time to go dive into it again, now that I think on it.
