By some miracle I've actually re read a book. This obviously confirms that The Secret History is my favourite novel of all time, and given that it was somehow even better this time around I think I've probably made a good decision there. None of the tension was wasted on me, despite knowing what was going to happen, and I think that sums up basically all you need to know. Masterful.
