It's fun to wait 20 years and then reread a book. Totally different story.

[William50]

oh i know. but that doesn't mean i can't tease them about it mercilessly.




ETA: and william if you don't buy a copy let me know, i'll lend you mine.

Thanks turtlesong.

And I think I might do my first re-read of the entire DT series! Hells yeah.

[ManOfWesternesse]

Finished my Silmarillion re-read.

Now started a HP re-read.

Im going to read me sooome E.A. Poe!!!

I actually got a copy of his complete collection for christmas. I was going to start going thru it in between other books. It's been so long since I've read his stuff.

And definitely pick up Gerald's Game at some point.

That is exactly what I do. After I finish a novel, I spend a few nights reading Poe stories.

[Heather19]

I finished listening to The Notebook today. I think this is one of the rare occurrences where I much prefer the movie to the book. I honestly didn't really care for the book all that much.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

I am rereading Pet Sematary.

I am also rereading Poe's complete works.
Since New Year's so far I have read
Narrative of A Gordon Pym
Goldbug
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Currently: Mystery of Marie Roget.

I am reading the stories in between books too.

[William50]

Pet Sematary is one of my favorite King novels. I need to do a re-read...

[theyspunaweb]

All my books have marginalia, numerous dog eared pages, and creases in the spine.

*makes a mental note to hide all his signed limited books when Ryan's around*

Don't worry about the number three Bebe. I'm an extremely slow reader, but I think its a good thing. I retain a great deal, and I think active reading helps me to enjoy it a lot more, whether it be fiction, non fiction, or something academic. All my books have marginalia, numerous dog eared pages, and creases in the spine. If I'm going to intellectually feast, I want to enjoy each course and not get sick and throw up from eating it all at once.

Wow, that last sentence could be quoted all on it's own! It is true though, I tend to forget my favorite stories best parts...like the Ender Saga, I forgot the later books main stories because it's been so long and I zoomed through them. I want to go back and reread them now to fully appreciate them again. I feel like...dare I say it, I might even be starting to get old or something since I start to forget what books were about that I read just a year or two ago. It's extremely sad when you know you loved the books dearly.

Well, if you forget alot (like me) it just gives you excuses for more rereads. I've read the gunslinger more than 25 times. I am certain there are people here who've read it once and remembered more.

25 times, oh my! That is intense, the most I've probably ever re-read a book is Ender's Game...at like 3 or 4 times. Pretty short stuff. I mean to re-read stuff but have so much more that I want to explore, so I guess it will give me a lot of room for re-reads in the future

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

I could never read a book for the 25th time. So many books, so short a life.

[theyspunaweb]

yeah! I've found a lot of what I think look like good books through the forums here from you guys.

and brownings childe (love your quote, I have a similar one, with nastier phrases in my facebook quote section) + what is the avatar from? so creepy, it seems so familiar...it's not dark night right...hmm?

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

what is the avatar from? so creepy, it seems so familiar...it's not dark night right...hmm?

It is a picture of one of the members of Slipknot.

[Heather19]

Couldn't wait to read some Poe, so I went with an old favorite Ligeia. I'll probably end up reading a few more tonight before I go back to my other book.

[Ruthful]

It looks more like one of the members of ICP.

[theyspunaweb]

yeah...oh well I thought it was going to be from a movie or something. I don't listen to either band. Funny though because I am reading Duma Key, and the part I just read, King just mentioned Slipknot.

[Ruthful]

That's one of the more irritating aspects of King's (recent) writing. I suppose I didn't notice it in his early works of fiction-either because they were much better, or I didn't feel as close to the temporal pop cultural references-but it's probably one of the reasons I haven't liked most of his recent work. In fact, I think the only King book I've completed since finishing the final, eponymous volume of The Dark Tower is his latest collection of short stories, and even that isn't nearly as good as any of his previous collections.
