This is a book that once I read it, I have pretty much kept on my nightstand or in my bag, as I keep going back to it. A note on versions, as there are many out there:

I’ve picked up two different English translations now and they are different from each other in interesting ways. The Hays translation (Modern Library) is a little more “plain English” and is my favorite of the two, the Penguin Classic (Hammond translation) is a bit more poetic, which I don’t like as much but it is fun to compare the versions. I do like the indexes in the back of the Penguin version.
