I know reading is for huge losers who waste XP, but I'm always on the prowl for favorite pieces of literature. What's a favorite here? Is there a book or story you can always return to and love it every time?
For me, that book is Gone-Away World by Nick Harkaway. It combines every B-movie plot element you can imagine - post-apocalypse, ninjas, kung fu, military drama, fantasy, and so on - and elevates it in a way that made me tear up in the end. Never thought it was possible until I read this story, which was funny, silly, and for some reason emotionally resonant. I've read it and listened to it a combined total of perhaps six or seven times, and I'd pick it up again in a heartbeat if I still had my copy (I gave it to a friend).
Anyone here have anything like that?
