Are You a Re-Reader?

Honeybit · ‎07-17-2011

Anybody besides me who would rather re-read an old favorite than read a new book that's just so-so? I thought of adding this thread when I read some of the replies to the thread about another book as good as The Thorn Birds. Do you have a list of books you enjoy reading again periodically? I'll have to think about some of the others, but one that comes to mind immediately is Leigh Brown's The Show Gypsies. It's one of the best love stories and best books about (horse) show jumping ever. It seems she only wrote the one book -- what a shame!

Never before the last 3 weeks... I got a series on the NOOK-- The Hunted by Jennifer Ryan.. I read all of them.. and loved them so much I am starting to re-read -- My kind of love story...

In all the years of reading I have saved very special books.. but never re-read them from cover to cover..

No, I am not a re-reader.

Very rarely. I've re-read Harry Potter and Nicholas Sparks' The Lucky One because I loved them so much.

Yes, I found a book series called "Loon Lake Mysteries" by Victoria Houston and read them out of order. I liked them so much that I am in the process of going back and reading them in the proper sequence. They take place northern Wisconsin and many real towns that I've visited are mentioned.

Mostly not, as I very rarely keep a book (paper book vs E-books) once I've read it. That said, I have a collection of JD Robb books in my basement that I intend to re-read, then donate to my local library, as they don't own the entire collection.

I just reread Jane Eyre, which I read probably forty-plus years ago. I still like it. I think I may reread Peter Jenkins Walk Across America and Walk West too. I wish they were available on Kindle but not yet. Usually I don't reread a book though.

I re-read Stephen King's The Stand about every 3 years. It scares the ^�% out of me and I love it.

When I was a young girl, I was definitely a re-reader. NOW I barely have time to be a first time reader!

The only time I re-read a book was many years ago. I stopped mid-way through a book I was reading because I didn't like it. I tried re-reading it again when a friend (who gave me it as a gift) asked about it. I did eventually finish it but I abhorred it.
