I rarely do. But it has happened recently that I reread with some of my French students books that I read over 40 years ago. In fact, I just managed to find in French through my library a book I enjoyed when I was 11. I'm curious to see how it will go. I have read three times The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers, and I feel like I need to reread it again. And The Dream by Zola as well. So just a few exceptions
I seldom re-read books, but it happens. Wuthering Heights I have read several times. One of my favourite books. I will re-read A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles in English (read it in Swedish). I think the best book I have ever read. I would like to re-read Gone With the Wind. I read it when I was rather young and would probably see it different today. Just a few special books to re-read as you see.
I do. Not a lot but some of them deserve to be read more often.
ReplyDeleteGood point!!

Very nice about the French books.
DeleteThanks for sharing what you re-read and that you do re-read. :)
I do re read but its very restricted. P D James, Jane Austen, Agatha Christie. Especially when I am feeling down, these help.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing that you re-read books.
DeleteI just can't make myself do it. LOL!!

ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning Gone With The Wind.
DeleteI haven't re-read the book, but I have seen the movie a few times. :)
Yes....special books sometimes do need to be re-read.
Thanks for sharing what you do, Lisbeth.
