   To Start Againposted 10 years ago

   I've read tons of books and there have been several that I just loved but I have only read one book twice. "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald.  I love the imagery he used. I can't read books more than once because as soon as I start reading them again, the whole book starts flooding back and I don't want to continue. I guess I'm just weird because I can watch movies a million times...
   I do hang on to a lot of books though in case I ever do decide to read one a second time. Go figure..

   I've re-read the first five Harry Potter books at least three times. And I read Stephen King's On Writing twice. I know that I had Huck Finn assigned to me several times, but I can't remember the exact number. But, I feel it's important to re-read our favorite books as a way to remind ourselves why we loved reading in the first place. I make it a point to re-read something from my past every year as a way of reconnecting with my past adventures.

   There are two that I have read over and over again.  Suds in Your Eye, by Mary Lasswell - a wonderful fictional story about 3 old gals that move in together, written during WW II.  Wrinkle in Time, a kids book is a wonderful little book and I love rereading it.

   Pride & Prejudice (Austen) - never fails to entertain and the characters are so vivid.
   To Kill a Mockingbird (Lee) - a gentle book though about not-so-gentle subjects.
   Winnie-the-Pooh (Milne) - it still makes me laugh on an adult level & still entertains
                                            the children.
   From the Corner of his Eye (Koontz) - such deep characters, gentle & sinister, an
                                           intriguing story.
   Plus all the stories in the 'Narnia' series (CS Lewis) - bit dated now but beautiful stories for ages 10-100.
