Just that really!

Looking for a book or two for a holiday. I haven't read anything for ages - I don't want to waste this reading opportunity!

Not a big fan of chick lit. I will read it and generally forget it after about a day!

I want something that will move me and I want something that my mind will go back to again and again.

Be really grateful if people could tell me of books that have just made them want to go right back to the start and read it again. The kind where you feel jealous when you lend it to somebody who gets to read it for the first time. Not asking for much! Grin
