So I must tell you, when I first read...I love this! So I must tell you, when I first read The Catcher in the Rye it actually didn't leave much of an impression on me. I vaguely remembered liking it, although I also remember being told this book would change my life, so when it didn't I kind of shrugged my shoulders and kept it movin' so to speak. I finally reread it this year after 11 years... I did not have the reaction most readers seem to have when they reread it as adults... but I LOVED it. And I actually teared up and cried at a couple of points. I kind of feel like, if you loved it to begin with, you might just want to leave it alone. Sometimes it's dangerous to mess with the ant hill! XD<br /><br />I'll be swiping this idea for my blog next week. But I'm linking back here :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848866137245100646.post-28738471808413392742011-04-29T13:38:10.624-05:002011-04-29T13:38:10.624-05:00I still haven't read Macbeth, though I've ...I still haven't read Macbeth, though I've read several by Shakespeare and loved them (my favorite is Othello). I did just recently reread Jane Eyre (actually, on audio) and it was just as wonderful. I've never heard of Hiroshima but I have another John Hersey on the TBR shelf, A Bell For Adano, which is one of the books that's been owned-and-unread for the longest. I've probably owned it for 15 or 16 years, I should break down and read it soon!Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848866137245100646.post-81889756535774876142011-04-29T11:32:18.063-05:002011-04-29T11:32:18.063-05:00I could gladly live without every rereading the cl...I could gladly live without every rereading the classics from high school -- maybe because it was all dead white guys (sadly, I hated <i>Catcher in the Rye</i>!) I'm a big fan of rereading -- if I'm feeling funky I can usually count on a favorite reread to pull me out of it. Daphne duMaurier's <i>Rebecca</i> is one; Capote's <i>Breakfast at Tiffany's</i>; Dodie Smith's <i>I Capture the Castle</i>; Austen's <i>Persuasion</i>... My list could go on and on, but I'll stop. I'm not sure I could limit myself to ten! ;)Audrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511122937603890352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848866137245100646.post-29516336839792027042011-04-29T08:01:58.186-05:002011-04-29T08:01:58.186-05:00I couldn't help but notice that many of the bo...I couldn't help but notice that many of the books you've chosen are books you were probably assigned for school...hmmm...contrary to popular belief among students, maybe the high school literature department knows what its doing when choosing books...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848866137245100646.post-6979751786296407502011-04-28T20:51:05.391-05:002011-04-28T20:51:05.391-05:00If you reread lord of the flies and have a changed...If you reread lord of the flies and have a changed opinion of it, maybe i will too.

I know there are a lot of great books out there I haven't made it to, but there are some fantastic ones I know I love that I already own (bonus).<br /><br />I do say beware reading Catcher again and assuming you'll have the same love teenage you did. I did that and how wrong I was.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456600806188531803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848866137245100646.post-80149891800007576342011-04-28T10:39:41.111-05:002011-04-28T10:39:41.111-05:00And i definitely want to re-read "Little Wome...And i definitely want to re-read "Little Women"Wall-to-wall bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08866065085086660318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848866137245100646.post-52003568927886247752011-04-28T10:38:36.803-05:002011-04-28T10:38:36.803-05:00Ahhh, this is a good idea!
