Line 58:
* [[Stephen King]]'s ''[[The Dark Tower]]'' series uses this as well. The final book ends with {{spoiler|Roland making it to the top of the tower, and finding himself in the desert following the man in black - and it isn't the first time he's been sent back to the beginning. There's an ambiguous clue that he might change things this time around, though.}}
* Another King instance in ''Needful Things'', which starts with a narrator talking to the reader about the new store coming into town and telling us a bit about the town, and ends likewise in a different town.
* Terry Pratchett's ''[[The Amazing Maurice and Hishis Educated Rodents]]'' ends with Maurice finding another stupid-looking kid to help earn his fortune.
* The first ''[[Artemis Fowl]]'' book starts with the titular character researching a hunch he has about fairies. At the end of the sixth book, he's gone through a [[Stable Time Loop]] back to before the first book with past!Artemis getting [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|mind-wiped]] to preserve the timeline. The last scene is him waking up post mind-wipe, back in the past, and half remembering "Fairies. Something about fairies."
* ''If You Give a Mouse a Cookie'', arguably Laura Numeroff's most famous work, begins with the mouse being given a cookie, and asking for various other favors until the end, where he wants a cookie again. Numeroff herself described it as a "circular story."
