There aren't many titles I've read multiple times, but I'm up to about four or five with Cohen's
Book of Longing.
It's less a book of poetry, and more a book of ruminations / philosophy from the end of his life. Likely more rewarding if you're a man and can relate to his experiences (I can and do).
I've also read his title
Death of a Lady's Man a few times and own a first edition of it. I'll take older Cohen over middle-aged Cohen, though.
