Thread Name: What Books Do You Reread?
Subject: RE: What Books Do You Reread?
When I was younger I used to reread the following:

Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories and "The Lost World" (never yet made into a movie that comes even close to the book)
most of H.G.Wells
Lord of the Rings
the Hornblower books by C.S.Forester
several fantasy novels by William Morris
The Wind in the Willows
A.A.Milne's "Pooh" books
Bob Dylan's lyrics and poetry

Now I reread spiritual books like:

The Conversations With God series by Neale Donald Walsch
The Tao of Health, Sex, and Longevity
The Tao of Pooh
The Teh of Piglet
Seven Arrows

And other stuff along that general line...

Interesting evolution of tastes, isn't it? I note that Winnie-the-Pooh somehow bridges the whole thing, which speaks well for the little stuffed bear. He's a cosmic figure, no doubt, and Milne's books were a masterpiece of writing.
