Thread Name: BS: Books You've Read More Than Once
Subject: RE: BS: Books You've Read More Than Once
Wow! Alot of us have read alot of the same books alot of times. Scary monster!!
   As a little girl, my fave was "Heidi," or else Grimm's Fairy Tales, or else Hans Brinker & the Silver Skates. My younger brother were bookaholics. Mother took us to the Library each week, and when we read through all of our books we'd read the World Book Encyclopedia (1954 edition) or. I also dearly loved a one of my Daddy's college textbooks (early 40's), "Writers of the Western World." In it I was reading, or attempting to read among other things, Poe's "The Raven" at about age 8 or so. Alas & alack, I don't know what became of it.
   I also have read Black Elk Speaks several times, as well as a few others of him & some by his family members.

Other books I read over & over & over tend to be:
Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda
(& other books by him & by Daya Mata)
Light From Many Lamps edited by Lillian Eichler Watson
(the one I keep on my nightstand!)
Anything I can get by P. G. Wodehouse, which is rare.

   I could go on about books without end!
