What do you plan to reread this year?

[highlandcoo]

Trawling through my bookshelves to lend a friend some holiday reading reminded me how much I like Sue Gee. Her earlier books are fairly bog-standard but Earth and Heaven, The Mysteries of Glass and The Hours of the Night were all excellent. Time to reread them I think.

I've recently had to throw out old, browning, cracked copies of Middlemarch and Anna Karenina .. have re-bought them and planning to read them soon.

I was thinking of re-reading The Bell Jar,Gone With The Wind and Wuthering Heights once I've read a few more of the massive pile I've bought recently.

I re-read Catcher In the Rye the other week, having not read it for 30 yrs. And I plan to re-read The Scarlet Letter soon, having not read that one for about 20 yrs. But I do have a stack of very new books I'd like to get through.

I re-read Diary of a Nobody earlier this year and plan to re-read Madame Bovary but, like you anonymosity, I've got a stack of new books and kindle books waiting to be read.

I would be very tempted by Madame Bovary though, I might have to construct two piles - new ones and re-reads!

Just started to re-read The Bell Jar, also will re-read The Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations.

I intend to re-read 'Wolf Hall' before the next one in the trilogy is published in May.

just started lord of the flies again - did this for o level 30 years ago also re visiting monica dickens

Re-reading The God of Small Things for my book group, even better second time round

I loved Wolf Hall when I reread it, having found it quite challenging the first time, mainly due to Hilary Mantel's use of "he" for paragraphs at a time without naming Cromwell. I found that strangely difficult first time round, but the second read was excellent. I knew there was going to be a sequel but is she planning a trilogy? Fantastic - I hadn't heard that.

Also loved Madame Bovary when I read it for a book group after a gap of 20 years. Some authors I have enjoyed so much more, returning to them with more life experience .. Jane Austen most of all probably. When I read P&P at university I didn't get why it was supposed to be amusing; now I love the scenes with Mr Collins and Lady Catherine de Burgh :)

I love re-reading Diary of a Nobody. Also re-read any Anthony Trollope books periodically.

I plan to re-read Daniel Deronda, but have Sense and Sensibility and Sylvia's Lovers on the bookstand, both bookmarked, as I've usually several books on the go and have been reading them in (short) stages.

I actually fancy giving Twilight another go!

I will re-read Persuasion, but I read chapter 23 quite often anyway and perhaps Pride & Prejudice. If I have time I may re-read de Berniere the South American trilogy. I loved them so much first time.

I am currently reading Madame Bovary for the first time.

How are you enjoying Madame Bovary, mixedmama? I have A Sentimental Education waiting to be read; looking forward to that.

I love Diary of a Nobody too. Unbelievable to think it's 120 years old - the humour stands up so well.

Re Trollope, I bought all the Barchester Chronicles series years ago but have never started them for some reason. I'm reading a lot of modern novels for book groups atm but some have been pretty average and the old classics are looking more appealing tbh

I was a bit bored for a while but since Rodolphe has made an appearance it has really picked up. I actually cn't put it down now. I find with a lot of classics I feel that way - Jane Eyre was the same for about 150 pages and then I couldnt stop until I had finished and now I cannot wait to read it again.

It's time to re-read my favourite Georgette Heyers and Lord of the Rings.
