Fatal Vision by Joe McGuinness

I’ve read it probably half a dozen times. So good

Anonymous wrote:Crossing to Safety by Wallace Stegner — read it four times and each time hits differently, it’s a beautifully written book.

This is my favorite too.

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.

I loved that book!

Love rereading Harriet Vane and Lord Peter Wimsey series!

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

Have reread all of these:

Olive Kitteridge
A Prayer for Owen Meany
100 Years of Solitude
East of Eden
The Mysts of Avalon
The poems of Anne Sexton
Salt (the little nonfiction book)
Guns, Germs & Steel (fwiw, it did not age well)

I love to re-read all my Daphne DuMauriers.

I think I’ve read it …. 6 times? Amazing so good.

I’ve read this many times, too. Remarkable.

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

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle - Barbara Kingsolver
Walden - Henry David Thoreau

A Christmas Carol every year around Christmas
Like a PP, I like to reread Jane Austen in fall, warm cider in hand!

Same, same, same!

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

I've re-read Ted Chiang's short stories collections ("Stories of Your Life" and "Exhalation") several times.
