Books you re-read

[Anonymous]

I'm enjoying the DNF thread. It got me thinking what are books you have enjoyed enough that you re-read them or re-listen?

I like to fall asleep listening to audiobooks of books I've already read, because then my mind won't stay awake waiting to find out what happens next.

I love to reread but if I had to pick one book to reread forever it would be Dubliners

Anxious People Frederick Backman
Harlem Shuffle Colston Whitehead

I posted about it in a separate thread asking for recommendations, but I reread Tiny Beautiful Things regularly. I love how every time I read it different letters/responses resonate with me because my only life has evolved in some way or another.

The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield

I reread Catch-22 regularly. It's just so dense with humor and plot. A magic carpet ride of a read each and every time. My favorite book.

I used to reread The Great Gatsby, just for the lyrical language.

I still regularly reread Patrick O'Brian.

I never reread, but I am considering rereading Snow Child. If we had an actual winter, or a snow day, that was my plan. Maybe next year.

Anything by Georgette Heyer or KJ Charles when I need a pick-me-up. Melissa Scott, Tanya Huff, and Lois McMaster Bujold are also authors I like to go through again and again. Gaudy Night by Dorothy L Sayers when I’m making big changes in my life and feeling insecure.

PP again. I often reread The Dark is Rising by Susan Cooper over Christmas. This year I listened to the BBC radio play instead.

Me too! Loved that book and those letters even before she became all Reese Witherspoon famous.

I’m also a fall asleep with a familiar audiobook person. I like to listen to the Ngaio Marsh mysteries to fall asleep. For re-reading not a bedtime-the Barchester and Palliser series by Trollope and the Aubrey and Maturin series by Patrick O’Brian.

Agatha Christie.
The Lord of the Rings.
Short stories from Isaac Asimov.
Bill Bryson books.

[Anonymous]

Jane Eyre
The Blind Assassin
His Dark Materials trilogy

Probably some of Stephen King’s books, though I’d have to think about which ones. So many wonderful stories!
