Thread Name: BS: Books You've Read More Than Once
Subject: RE: BS: Books You've Read More Than Once
I used to read A Christmas Carol every Christmas to conjure up the magic of that Christmas Spirit. Haven't read it in years, though. Moby Dick I have re-read about every seven years, each time as if I were taking yet another voyage on the doomed Pequod..."Call me Ishmael."
I recently re-read Hesse's Steppenwolf and Sartre's The Age of Reason, and prior to the first Trilogy movie, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, although I consider Tolkein good entertainment rather than great literature. Certain Shakespeare plays I have read numerous times, including Henry V, Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Midsummer Night's Dream,, and The Tempest.
