I re-read the back of the cereal box.

Joanne, I'll have to go find a copy of "Red Diapers". I haven't read that yet.

I'm currently re-reading "It" by Stephen King mainly because I was looking for the definition of friendship that is in it. I got half the way through the book and discovered the quote section here on Goodreads. Lo and behold, there was the definition as one of Stephen King's quotes.

I have re-read Rebecca, Haunting of Hill House, Lord of the Rings, Memoirs of a Geisha.

I will reread Rebecca one of these days. I enjoy Daphne du Maurier. Maybe I'll read Haunting of Hill House for the first time too.

"It" is on my to re-read list. That book was soooo good.

I will be rereading A Passage to India.

Neil Gaimon. Terry Brooks. Anne Rice. Anne Bishop. Kim Harrison. Ray Bradbury.

You are the first person I know of who also likes Anne Bishop! Woo hoo! Her stuff is dark and twisted but in a good way. What books of hers have you read?

When I am having trouble finding something to read, I will pick up something I have read previously. I don't really reread, I graze. I flip around and read a few pages or paragraphs. Its like visiting an old friend.

I think I might reread Bonfire of the Vanities. Perhaps even A Man in Full. Sometimes you just feel like a potboiler.

I re-read a lot of books. I have re-read the books in The Wheel of Time Series about 3 times. I find that after a year or two it is like reading the book for the first time again as I have forgotten a lot of what has happened.

I will re-read the book if a new book is coming out in the series and I find I get the most enjoyment out of it if I have re-acquanted myself with the series.

I totally agree, I found a great site through my local library which allows me to download audiobooks to my ipod. So now I am re-reading all the In Death books by J. D. Robb while I exercise, do housework and drive around in the car.

I re-read anything I loved enough to buy or classics I read in high school to see if I get more out of it this time. e.g.: SILAS MARNER--did not get this book at all at 16..now I'm 62 & it made perfect sense. also: the Iliad,the Odyssey,David Copperfield. I confess to loving genre: I re-read Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar stories,Laurell K.Hamilton,J.D.Robb. I love a good story!

Metoometoometoo. I even have a "currently re-reading" shelf. Right now, it's the Clockwork Century books by Cherie Priest.

I will be rereading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows this week. You may have to tap my shoulder to get my attention if you want to talk to me.

I'll re-read any Mercedes Lackey, J.D.Robb,Ann McCaffrey, Black Jewels books,Agatha Christie,Christine Feehan,Laurell K.Hamilton,Cherry Adair,Keri Arthur/Riley Jensen...the list grows daily.

Jackie, when you're done can you give me the cliffnotes version? I don't really feel like re-reading it before the movie comes out. :-)

Sure, Jaimie!

I tend to reread quite a bit. I suppose it's similar to going to a restaurant and ordering what you already know you like. Currently, I'm rereading the first Flashman book by G.M. Fraser (and enjoying it just as much the second time around).

Welcome to TC William.

We watched The Halfblood Prince again last night, but I prefer not to re-read the 7th book for now so that I don't go into the movie super picky about what was left in or out.

I usually like to reread the book before the movie but I didn't do that with the Goblet of Fire and found myself enjoying the movie more. I tend to be overly critical of the movie when the book is fresh in my mind.

the only movie I ever saw that was as good as the book was DR.ZHIVAGO

HuffPost has a similar list today - I think I'll make it a separate thread.

The Green Mile was a good adaptation. Also, Shawshank Redemption.

I know that thread is around here somewhere - about good adaptations. Maybe lobstergirl can find it.

does any one know where a thread for "good adaptations" is located? If we do not have one then maybe we should start one.

I'll look.

Hey sarah: if you don't find one let me know. I'll be happy to start one.

Go for it. I looked. That's usually Heidi and/or Lobstergirl's department.

OK Sarah, I started one and put it under Pop Culture.

I reread Daphne Du Maurier, Jane Austen and Tolkien. I've also used a group read as an excuse to reread old favourites (currently reading "The Moonstone"). When I was teaching I deliberately chose old childhood favourites to reread to the class!

I reread THE MOONSTONE, THE WOMAN IN WHITE & SILAS MARNER this summer

Does it count as a re-read if you listened to it on audio the first time and are now going to read it?

I know, I know. It probably does. But I already stated that I don't re-read, and now...hey can't blame a person for trying right?

I've read the Anne of Green Gables books at least twice. I just re-read L. M. Montgomery's Among the Shadows for a group read. Also, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Pride and Prejudice, the Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett, a couple of Sookie books by Charlaine Harris. When I was a kid I read this book over and over called The Christmas Tree Ate My Mother. I thought it was hysterical.

for me,rereading a book I truly enjoyed is like visiting an old friend..I can appreciate the details more because I'm not racing to find out how it ends. Also, a book read when I was 12 or 17 may have more impact on me now. That was true when I reread Silas Marner..also,Alice In Wonderland.

Right now I am rereading The Devil May Cry

>>(currently reading "The Moonstone").<<

I got this book some time ago when I heard Alex Trebeck say that it's his all-time favorite book. I've read about a quarter of it and was enjoying it but for some reason, put it down and never got back to it. I'll have to be it on my DL.

today I am rereading DARK GUARDIAN by Christine Feehan. I have not read it for a couple of years and I really enjoyed it the first time.

Hi there, am new... :-)

I couldn't resist this question... I tend to reread "comfort reads" from childhood and the teen years. Like the Anne of Green Gables and Emily of New Moon series by L.M. Montgomery, anything by Douglas Adams, A Christmas Carol, Little Women, the Paddington books, the Mary Poppins books, A Wrinkle in Time....

oh yeah, and also Tolkien in a BIG way. Every few years.

Welcome to TC Yesha, hope you find some more threads you can't resist.

@ Kristi - I'd say it counts. Or vice versa, when you've read the book first than listened to the audio book.

@ Yesha, welcome!

Speaking of comfort reads of childhood, I just re-read Howliday Inn by James Howe. It wasn't as good as I remembered like Bunnicula was but I'm going to continue rereading that series.

After seeing the new Harry Potter movie last night I now want to reread the book.

Sherlock Holmes stories
Jane Eyre
The Jeeves stories by PG Wodehouse

I just finished rereading Dark Guardian by Christine Feehan.

I want to read the Jeeves stories. They seem like fun.

Thanks for the support. ;)

Okay showing my literary ignorance here. What are the Jeeves books?

The Jeeves books are both novels and anthologies by P. G. Wodehouse. The main characters are a dim but lovable aristocrat and his extremely intelligent manservant.
