    This topic is for discussing anything about rereads.

    We mainly read books aloud and then I go back and reread it years later. That's always nice, the sense of day-sha-voo ( :lol:) ya get.

    I spent the greater part of my life re-reading favorite books (The Secret Garden, A Little Princess, Anne of Green Gables, Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden, et cetera). I only started really seeking out new books last May. Wow, was it only last May?

    I still do a lot of re-reading. I love noticing things I never noticed before, getting excited over characters and plots all over again, even if I know what happens next.

    Series are nice to reread, books like Narnia and LotR have so much stuffins in 'em, a second glance is refreshing.
    I love the feeling of curling up with an old friend.
    Off-Topic: Does anyone notice how some books smell nice? I have this one, The Minstrel and the Dragon Pup, that's a little hardcover book but smells heavenly inside. Some paperbacks do, too, and bookstores. Libraries don't really have a smell, and if they do, it's rother stinky!

    I never notice it when books smell nice...only when they don't smell nice. I have this copy of Crime and Punishment that smells sickening. I never open it.

    As for rereads, I never thought I did that but now I see that maybe I do. As the last several books I've read have been basically all rereads. With reading the DragonKeeper's again, and reading The Tale of Despereaux again after several years...I suppose I do reread sometimes.

    Ooh, yeah, my copy of The Illiad smells dreadful! Getting back on topic with a pun, I'd never want to reread it!

    Thank you.
    I'm thinking about rereading Gone-Away Lake, cause that book had such a feel-goody tone.
