I’m re-reading ‘A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court’ by Mr. Marky Twain because my mom moved and I found it in some old boxes of mine. It’s fun to re-read because you notice different things each time.

I have certain books I re-read in whole or part, just because I love them or because they remind me of a something, a forgotten lesson or a thought left hanging. The Brothers Karamazov can be referenced as often as the bible, me thinks.

I have re-read a number of books, sometimes for nostalgic reasons (a fav is ‘stories for five year olds’ and ‘A Twist of Gold’), and some because I bought them and forgot I’d already read them, and some simply because I love the stories:

Angela’s Ashes – Frank McCourt
The Lovely Bones – Alice Sebold
Witch Child & Sorceress – Celia Rees and
The Complete Book of Flower Fairies – Cicely Mary Barker (because the poems, stories and illustrations are timeless 😡 )

I’ve read the Folk of the Far Away Tree about 3 times! I love re-reading it because it takes me back to when I was a little girl and the story is so fantastic it’s easy to get caught up in the adventure (just like Harry Potter, I confess I love Harry! The last film is going to be broken into 2 movies which is annoying though!)

I’ve just finished reading 100 Years of Solitude and I can see myself revisiting it in a few years.

As a kid, I read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings several times each.

As an adult, I’ve had less time for fiction. What little fiction-reading time I have, I spend mostly with my son (and yes, his library includes Harry Potter).

But I have had the chance to return to Aldous Huxley’s Island more than once, and Italo Calvino’s If on a winter’s night a traveler.

I will re-read Salman Rushdie’s The Satanic Verses some time soon.
