In reply to the discussion: Do You Have a Fictional Book That You Have Read Several Times? [View all]Re-read all of Jane Austen about twice a year, LOTR at least once a year, all the Anne of Green Gables books, Barbara Pym, F. Scott Fitzgerald. I read "Lucky Jim" a lot. I re-read the Nancy Mitford books a lot. I've read the bios of Zelda Fitzgerald and Edna St. Vincent Millay by Nancy Milford over and over. I also have a number of non-fiction books on the Salem Witchcraft trials I've re-read numerous times. A bio of Eleanor of Aquitaine I've read multiple times, ditto one of Mary, Queen of Scots. Right now I'm re-reading Christopher Isherwood, "The Berlin Stories". I've re-read Faulkner and Sinclair Lewis pretty often. I'm an avid re-reader, and I believe that it's really no different from listening to a favorite song or watching a favorite movie.
