Subject: RE: BS: What books would you NOT reread?
Anything in which an animal solves a mystery, such as the "Cat Who..." books by Lilian Jackson Braun.
Depressing books like "Sophie's Choice".
Over-erudite stuff like "The Name of the Rose" by Umberto Eco.
Gratuitously violent books like "Season of the Machete" by James Patterson (some violence in a novel doesn't bother me at all, but this one had absolutely nothing else. I was surprised recently when I read his "1st to Die" and "2nd Chance" -- I actually enjoyed them!).
