I just got done with a second read of 2666 by Bolaño.
There was an article on HN a month or two ago about how some books drive people to the kind of madness that would make them do a degree in literature. This is probably the one for me. Excited to read it again in 5 years and see it differently again.
I felt the same way. It started slow and I nearly quit, but something beneath the surface kept me reading. After 50 pages or so, I was hooked. It's an amazing book. The only other book that pulled me in that deeply in a couple of last years was Blood Meridian.
