A Lost Jewel
I bought this out of curiosity, after learning that it was Jack Kennedy's favorite book. The writing is so compelling that it is one of those very few books I will read again within a year. Since it is out of print, I have mailed it to the first of 3 friends who I know will love it. But for fear of losing it in the mails, I bought a back-up copy. That's how much I loved it.
