Blonde, by Joyce Carol Oates. It is about 1000x better than the Netflix show based on it.

A Fine Balance wrecked me the first time. I can’t read it again.

I’m lowbrow compared to you all. I re-read:

The Secret History
Harriet the Spy (one of my favorite books as a child)
Moo and a lot of other Jane Smiley books

And these authors for comfort reading:

Agatha Christie
Laurie Colwin
Elinor Lipman (early, not more recent)
Jane Austen
Cathleen Schine

So good. I wrote about it in grad school and it has stayed with me.

Love rereading Harriet Vane and Lord Peter Wimsey series!

I loved that book!

[Anonymous]

God I hardly ever reread and when I do its comfort based. The only books I've ever reread:

Redwall - Brian Jaques (a kid's book I read over and over)
Harry Potter, various
And I am embarrassed to admit this, but Twilight.

And my overall reading habits are extremely varied I read all kinds of genres including heavy books and the classics but these are the books I reread when I want to just curl into something familiar and pleasant.

This is my favorite too.
