I have read Nights at the Circus at least every year since I was 18. Every year it has found me different and every year I have found it different. Despite my copy being covered in highlighting and notes from five years of re-reads, I still struggle to find a way to properly review it. It is without a doubt one of the greatest books I have ever had the privilege of reading.
