“The Manual: A Philosopher's Guide to Life” - This is a book on stoicism. It’s a quick read but has so much value. I re-read this book once a year.
“Leading: Learning from Life and My Years at Manchester United” - I’m a huge Manchester United fan. Sir Alex Ferguson managed the (biggest) club for 27 years, winning so many trophies, managing big personalities, rebuilding the team multiple times over the course of his career. He has so much valuable advice in this book.
Many books. (Catch-22, Fate is the Hunter, To Hell and Back, Asimov's Science-Fiction Novels, etc, etc, etc.)
Many people can only read a book once. I like to read books that I have enjoyed many times.
Just as you eat one particular dish that you like many times, enjoying it every time, you can enjoy some books over and over for the delight they give you.
But some books you won't like and will never read again, just as some food dishes you won't have again because they were found to be unenjoyable the first time.
