Books that, upon reading the last word of the last page, compel you to turn back to the beginning , as if starting over were the only thing that made sense.
The Turn of the Screw, Death in Venice, Heart of Darkness, Fahrenheit 451, The Sense of an Ending…. What´s next?
Oh man, I had this with a book called “the quincunx”. It was such a complex plot that kept on thickening and then when it finally revealed itself, the absolute last sentence of the book made me question everything all over again. Amazing book. But super thick (800+ pages) so i have not yet found the courage to re-read it.. One day I will though!

The Lost Daughter by Elena Ferrante. I had to go back and re-read the first chapter knowing what I knew about the protagonist – just wow
