Books that you finished and immediately reread.

[choccyp1g]

Because they were so good and rich and generally wonderful.

I'll list three, most of which have also appeared in the "books you gave up on" thread.

Wolf Hall and Bring up the Bodies (counts as one choice)
All the Pretty Horses

A fine Balance

The Blind Assassin.
The Woman in White

Same as you, Wolf Hall and Bring Up The Bodies.

Great Expectations. Then started working my way through the rest of Dickens.

Was sorely tempted to when I recently finished The Sunne in Splendour recently, but restrained myself as I have loads of other things waiting to be read.

Another one for WH & BUTB!

The Secret History. I think this is the only one I've done this with as an adult.

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell was the only book I finished the last page and immediately turned back to the first page again.

GeorgeHerbert. I read the Blind Assassin twice in one go too. (thinks: there should be a special word for that kind of twice.....cover to frontispiece?)

Rebecca
The Poisonwood Bible
Perfume
The series of Tales of the City -for sheer escapism.

The secret history for me too

Never, because I would know what was going to happen.

Forcibly, we (my class) got to the end of Great Expectations, heaved a huge sigh of relief and then our English teacher said in her Italian accent..."Open the book at page one girls" and we had to start again. I could've pulled my hair out. She did this to us three times in a year.

She was lovely though :)

Tea with Mr Rochester by Frances Towers. A wonderful collection of short stories.

Yes, The Blind Assassin. That's he only one ever.

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell.

AS Byatt's Angels and Insects.

Cloud Atlas.

I will definitely read Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell at some point, too. I haven't read it again immediately because I want to forget it a little so the re-read will be just as pleasurable as the first time.

Talking about Jonathan Strange makes me want to read it again. But no, I'm too busy rereading the Earthsea books...

The Secret History
World War Z

Might have to read The Poisonwood Bible again now! And The Blind Assasin......

There are a very few which I really did read and then turn immediately back to page one and read again. They are:
The last Harry Potter book
The last Dark Tower book
A Clockwork Orange
The Lord of the Rings, the first time I read it
The Glass Bead Game

The Good Soldier

I'm amazed people do this! I'm always keen to move onto the next book. Think the last time I did this was as a teenager. Am impressed with Wolf Hall - I enjoyed it but was quite glad to get to the end.

Blimey, Friendly, I don't think I've ever met anyone else who loves The Good Soldier too. It's quite exciting! I did it for A-levels but I still reread it every few years. It's just like the most perfectly constructed novel.

Not read, "The Good Soldier" for a very, very long time. Might be due a re-read.

Must re read The Luminaries as I might understand it now I know what happened !
I rarely re read . There are so many good books out there there never seems to be time But I do re-read Little Women and Georgette Heyers when ill....

The Spring of Kasper Meien
Wuthering Heights
The Wind in The Willows
