Read *The Alexandria Quartet* by Lawrence Durell, one of the great masters of the English language in the 20th Century. Four books tell the same story through four different eyes, using different naratorial voices (first person, second person, third person, omniscient narrator). One of the great literary accomplishments of the 20th Century, and if you finish all four books, you'll probably learn about 2000 new words along the way. Be sure to have a dictionary by your side as you read it.
