Replay by Ken Grimwood

Jeff Winston, forty-three, didn't know he was a replayer until he died and woke up twenty-five years younger in his college dorm room; he lived another life. And died again. And lived again and died again — in a continuous twenty-five-year cycle — each time starting from scratch at the age of eighteen to reclaim lost loves, remedy past mistakes, or make a fortune in the stock market. A novel of gripping adventure, romance, and fascinating speculation on the nature of time, Replay asks the question: "What if you could live your life over again?"

 

"This book deserves to be more famous than it is. It's quite Buddhist actually. I'm very interested in GroundhogDay and i love it. I love the idea that you can carry all these big ideas in an ordinary, domestic setting."
