Do you reread books?
I certainly haven’t reread every book I’ve ever read. But, there are a few books that I find myself rereading on a fairly regular basis.
I tend to read my copy of A Wrinkle in Time about once a year. It’s a book that I’ve enjoyed reading since I was first picked it up in middle school, though I have to admit that I’ve never finished reading the quintet.
I’ve also read my copy of American Gods so much that I had to replace the paperback with a nice leather-bound edition.
Oh, yes. There are books I’ve reread since childhood, and will again and again. Some books I know so well, re-reading them is almost like visiting friends. Many of them are children’s classics such as The Secret Garden, The Wheel on the School and The Wind in the Willows (known in our house simply as The Book), but there are adult books I cherish as well–just off the top of my head, Rumer Godden’s In This House of Brede, The Diary of Anne Frank, The Story of a Soul, and many more.
The sign of a true classic is that it wears well over the decades–and indeed, generations.
