The best are worth rereading, often more than once, if only to figure out how the author dunit. I figure if it ain't worth reading twice, it ain't worth reading at all.<br />My fave at the moment is Jan Burke.<br /><br />-Leslie Mehana<br />http://mystery.blogini.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13491361225358845752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-20952928434854613502009-08-18T11:21:34.850-04:002009-08-18T11:21:34.850-04:00I love re-reading books, and I always get so much ...I love re-reading books, and I always get so much out of it! I've been a big fan of L.M. Montgomery since I was 7. Obviously, my re-read of "Anne of the Island" at 27 gave me a different perspective on the story... (still loving Gilbert, though.

I re-read Garwood and Krentz, Quick and Lindsey so many times that some of the books I know by heart. Now, I want to re-read Singh and Ward's earlier books, Evanovich's 4 thru 8 (which I thought were her funniest).<br /><br />But I still love finding a brand new keeper that I know will one day be picked up again.<br /><br />cindysCindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22655888.post-89936495909340496232009-07-09T18:32:42.337-04:002009-07-09T18:32:42.337-04:00Sometimes a good re-read is the only thing that sa...Sometimes a good re-read is the only thing that satisfies a reading craving or breaks a slump.

It surfaced, but then when we cleared out the dining room to paint it, it disappeared again. Not to worry. We'll get the stenciling done this weekend and put everything back in its place.<br /> <br />The concept I loved most in that NYTimes piece was this: "The characters remain the same, and the words never change, but the reader always does."
