Rilke's pretty darn cool, very good pick there:) You've got a good point about some books not living up to childhood expectations...I get that for some Sci-fi, but I suppose that's just part of growing up. Nonetheless, most books only get better and better the more I read them!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793077012143289985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458581324926992168.post-51112563189447377952011-06-23T08:13:59.839-07:002011-06-23T08:13:59.839-07:00I'm with you on re-reading.

Some authors I really admire (like Borges, Shakespeare and Rilke) didn't click with me at all when I first read them.<br /><br />"each time I gain new insights and discover new elements of the characters that I had no idea existed before."<br /><br />Great point. Agree fully.<br /><br />Though it does occasionally go the opposite way -- I've had books that didn't live up to my childhood memories...Hektor Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08908146663251226473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458581324926992168.post-67124253523777386702011-06-22T17:36:25.383-07:002011-06-22T17:36:25.383-07:00Michelle - Hmm, I've got to check out some of ...Michelle - Hmm, I've got to check out some of your classics as I've read some, but not all of them. Looks like you've got some fun time ahead:)<br /><br />Suze - Vintage collector...ah, an intriguing aspect of the book world, but I fear I'm not endowed with enough dough to engage in it regularly ;)<br /><br />Lynda - LOTR rocks! I def love to reread that one and to read it aloud with others. 4 times is quite bit! Do you like the Simarillion or The Hobbit as well?Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793077012143289985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458581324926992168.post-47673976932326428912011-06-22T15:52:19.987-07:002011-06-22T15:52:19.987-07:00There's only been a few books I've reread....There's only been a few books I've reread. Lord of the Rings is one I reread most often.

In that vein, I'll give mention to Giffin's 'Something Borrowed,' I speak here of the novel, did not watch the recent adaptation. That story plants me firmly in the a blue-sky mindset. And Judy Blume's 'Forever,' but strictly the 1982 hardcover release. As a vintage collector, I get very particular with my editions.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908805179119217608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458581324926992168.post-81708611214774256832011-06-22T13:17:59.327-07:002011-06-22T13:17:59.327-07:00Yes to all your questions :D I've already rere...Yes to all your questions :D I've already reread the Sookie Stackhouse series, will probably revisit Harry Potter and Diana Gabldon's Outlander series, and have reread all of Victoria Holt's books more times than I can count.<br /><br />I've never reread a book immediately after finishing it though. I like to give myself enough time between readings so I forget a few little details. That way I can still be surprised a bit :DMichelle McLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08730366330276974943noreply@blogger.com
