The old Man and the sea, I've lost count of how many times I have read this one. Oddly , I didn't enjoy it so much when I had to read it at school . Another great on is Three Men in a Boat. I think I have read it about ten times. Not much for reading angling books over and over again though.

Couldn’t agree more Trevor, great books.

Does anyone remember the Commando and war booklets from the 60's I used to love them.

Jonah's Dream by Sven Berlin.

Another vote for this one.

They still sell them in the paper shop, I wanted to start buying them for my grandson's but the missue's said they were not suitable, have you seen some of them games they play on their consoles.?

Let me recommend a book:

‘How I Came to Know Fish’ by Ota Pavel.

Just fantastic.

I’m not a big reader of angling books but all the ones I have most enjoyed are anthologies or collections. They suit my preference for dipping in and out according to whim. So, I couldn’t even begin to calculate which I have read several times.

Three books I often revisit are also collections: “Letters from a Stoic” by Seneca, “Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius and the collected essays of Michel de Montaigne.

As a book dipper, I usually have a few on the go and the current 2 are both slim volumes: “Liberalism” by Leonard Hobhouse and “The Politics of Obedience: a discourse on voluntary servitude” by Etienne de La Boetie (a great friend of Montaigne).

The only 2 books I have ever re-read from cover to cover, and that dozens of times, are “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” by J R R Tolkien. Books I first read at the age of about 12 at the suggestion of one of those inspirational teachers who transform children’s lives.
