One of my favourite reads, and I need to find the time to read the new translation again (was rather rushed the last time since it was on loan from the library from a waiting list, so couldn't be renewed).
For folks who like fantasy/science fiction, Steven Brust's _The Phoenix Guards_ is an incredible amount of fun (and I'm still kicking myself for not getting it when it was on sale), as is _Five Hundred Years After_ --- the follow-on trilogy is also quite good, but I find it heart-wrenching enough (like to his _Teckla_) that I've never re-read them, though I re-read all his other books when I need some comfort reading.
