I really like to re-read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kessey and The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo, I usually read them one after the other, they're very different form the other and I like that, plus, Both of the really give me quite the feels

I like to re-read Dune and Legacy of Heorot. I have loved both books from the first time I read them, and every couple of years I just get a jones to read them again. I pick up on new things in Dune each time I read it. Legacy of Heorot is great example of the mistakes humans can make when we think we have all the answers. Also, the way the book reads I cannot believe it has not been made into a movie or series.

I love re-reading Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. There is something magical about that book. It is the first book I fell in love with, and probably it is the effect of first love. I find the need to revisit this book at least once in 3 years.

I'm totally going to be judged by this but it has to be books by Lucy Maud Montgomery. They transport me to such a happy place. I love the classics and enjoy the literary stuff but when it comes to rereading it has to be a story that has a lot of wholesome, feel good kind of stuff.

While serving in Vietnam I found the book, The Blue of Capricorn by Eugene Burdick. This book is reminiscent of Michener's tales of the South Pacific, but much better written. He alternates in some of the best writing I have ever read descriptions of the Pacific Ocean, the peoples of Micronesia and several beautifully written short stories. I don't know why it has such a hold on me, but I read it once or twice a year and have done so since the late sixties.

The Harry Potter series, The Hunger Games series and Pride and Prejudice. I love these books so much that, when I realized the school I worked at didn't have them, I went out and bought enough copies so that I could teach them in my English classes. :lol:

I do not tend to reread books. The few I have reread were the first Harry Potter book and Mark Lawrence's Prince of Thorns. Both are total opposite sides of the spectrum. Harry Potter being fantasy/ya, and Prince of Thorns being a dark and gristly post-apocalyptic fantasy.

I reread Of Mice And Men about once or twice a year. Oddly, I usually read it when I've been feeling down for a while. The book is sad and makes me feel sad, but I guess I like to get lost in a book regardless. Plus, I usually read the book all-the-way-through in one night. So, it's probably just that I want to occupy my mind for a while when I read it.

What about you?
The grapes of wrath was my favorite reread. It has so many common denominators to my childhood, not the main character but the view of the children oblivious to being pour. The other children in the story always gets me. We were the poorest so not something I lived.

I've reread To Kill a Mockingbird a few times. I was an adult when I first read it, but it captivated me and I could not put it down.
