Those are favorites of mine! Anne was awesome: I so admired her passion and guts! She rocked! And Tolkien... well, nothing need be said. :-) Robin, I need to re-read both of those!

It is like an old friend. I really enjoy re-visiting the Harry Potter series, too! I tend to get swept away by the magic, though, and never see the craft, there. :-) Dickens is a favorite of mine to re-read, too, Barbara! It is like an old friend.

I haven't read it in ages, and am about to send my paper copy away. I will put it on my Kindle, though, I promise! Borders would be awesome! I need to read Gone with the Wind again!

I can honestly say that a second read did hardly anything for me. I will always love and treasure that first-time discovery that lands books on my keeper shelf.

I've re-read "Gone With The Wind" probably ten times, that's my "big" story as far as re-read times go. And there are so many others. Re-reading to me is like visiting an old friend. Speaking of which, what are you doing on Saturday? Can I meet up with you for lunch or at Borders or something? Let me know! Definitely a re-reader!

It's like going back to visit an old friend where you can re-experience the stories once read for story and now, as you say yourself, Spy, for the way they wrote their craft.

My exceptions are Tolkein and the "Anne of Green Gables" books. How's that for a weird combination? I'm amazed at what a fabulous writer Tolkein was. It's not just the story. He was a true wordsmith. And I just adore Anne. I root for her and Gilbert every time. I rarely re-read. My exceptions are Tolkein and the “Anne of Green Gables” books. How’s that for a weird combination?

I have four or five that I keep at work and I constantly ready them while eating lunch. About the only books I re-read are non fiction.
