Name a book you have read MORE than once

Has a book ever fundamentally changed the way you see life? If yes, what was it?
Hmmmm … not that I can remember?

How do you choose a book? eg. by cover design and summary, recommendations or reviews
I’ll pick up the book if the cover looks interesting but I will buy it if the summary on the back jacket seems interesting. Also, if there’s a book where I heard a lot about from my friends, I tend to borrow it first before buying ( if I like it enough )
