There aren't any songs that have that affect on me but I knew as soon as
I'd finished reading "Captain Correlli's Mandolin" that I had never read
anything so fantastic and that I could NEVER EVER read it again. I
always read books I love over and over but this was so intensely moving,
so vivid and glorious and yet tragic at the same time that I can't
imagine putting myself through the emotional mangle again. But I'm so
glad to have read it once.
