Oh and it's such a good book! I read it twice in a row, just to try to unveil it a little bit more!

The books I re-read the most are both from Boris Vian:

L'écume des Jours that was translated variously as Froth on the Daydream, Mood Indigo and Foam of the Daze (thank you wikipedia) and "Les morts ont tous la même peau"

Followed closely by Play the Monster Blind, a collection of short stories by the Canadian Lynn Coady.
