Only one. I reread Pride & Prejudice yearly around Thanksgiving. It never gets old.

I've reread The Secret History many times. I wish I liked her other books but they were way too long.

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


Love the whole series!


Absolutely love the Dark is Rising. And then read the series to my sons.


The books are great. The movie was truly awful.

I love this book so much. A lot of my re-reads are in this thread. Anastasia Krumpnick, Lorrie Moore, Anne Tyler, Color Purple, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Secret History. I feel like my people are here! I will add One Day by David Nicholls. The movie adaptation was terrible, but there is something about the relationship between the main characters that I find myself needing to return to, even knowing how it ends.

Brothers Karamazov, Anna Karenina, Dune, LOTR trilogy, Hyperion Cantos

I have reread Mists of Avalon several times. I LOVED this book when I was in HS and in college, but now in my late 30s, I feel very differently about it...I don't know how well it's held up. I notice a lot more flaws in the story and development of certain characters, some of which now drive me nuts. I either glossed over them earlier or didn't pick up on them.

I read it when I was young and thought it was great, but haven’t reread it. I should add it to my list. I did read another book of hers a few years ago, Victory, and it was wonderful too.

Other books you might look at are the Green Knowe series by Lucy M. Boston and Below the Salt by Thomas B. Costain.
