What book could you read over and over again?

The Tao Te Ching is a classical Chinese text attributed to Laozi (Lao Tzu) a philosopher believed to have lived in the 6th century BCE. It’s a fundamental text in Taoism, exploring themes such as nature, balance, and the Tao (the Way). The text consists of 81 short chapters or verses, each offering wisdom and guidance on living in harmony with the Tao.

Laozi is considered the founder of Taoism and is revered for his teachings on the Tao.

I particularly find Stephen Mitchell’s transition to be the best for me. Straightforward and to the point without any of the fringe (decorative borders) found in other translations.
