This is a long shot, but I remember a book that was shown to me that you could read in a circle, as in you could start reading from any point in the book and it would flow nicely till the page prior to the one you started on. I have no idea what it looks like, or what it was about, or even when the book was created. I'm not expecting an answer, but google has failed me and this seemed like it might work. Thanks and good luck, I guess.

andrew smash posted:Dhalgren by Samuel Delany is often cited as an example of a circular text, but unfortunately (in reference to your other post on this page) it is neither straightforward nor short so it's probably not what you're thinking of. Holy poo poo! No, this is it. I remember the first and last lines exactly now. First line: "to wound the autumnal city." Last line: "I have come to", possibly seen as a lead in to the very first sentence. Awesome, thank you.
