Several of the Sci-Fi books by Marion Zimmer Bradley about "Darkover"...


We've got the entire series; haven't read them in years, maybe it is time. My fav. was Thendara House.

I don't reread very many books, either, but there are a couple I can think of right off:

The Cowboy and the Cossack - Clair Huffaker
To Kill A Mocking Bird
Elephants in the Living Room, Bears in the Canoe - Elizabeth Levy, Liz Hammond and Earl Hammond
All of James Herroit's
James Whitcomb Riley and other poets

I have set aside three which I plan to read, again:

Cavedweller - Dorothy Allison
Alias Grace - Margaret Atwood
Secrets of the Flesh: A Life of Colette - Judith Thurman


And, always some of the classics including Kipling, Twain, Scott, and Shakespeare, but not too often.

With Morgan around, I find myself reading aloud, again, the Jungle Book, stories from a children's book for teachers which my grandma used then gave to me, "How to tell stories to children," and various other classics. He's almost ready for some from other old books I have collected over the years if I don't sell them first!:-)

Wesley, that is such a good feeling, isn't it, to finally have all of your books out and in one place? We had that in WY, but here it's just too limited on space and we really want to lighten up so we've been going through them all.
