Hi --
Oh, I like this thread too!
I too have probably re-read HP more times than anything else, at least
in such a short duration. Over the course of my life, I've still
probably re-read the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder more
times than anything else, but it won't be long before HP may surpass
this record.
Okay, so what else besides HP & Little House?
Gone with the Wind - I used to re-read annually, but it's actually
been a few years now. Need to drag that out again soon.
Anything by Noel Barber, but especially Tanamera (little known British
author who wrote lots of non-fiction based on his days as a
correspondent during WWII & then wrote about 6 novels late in life,
all love stories, all based in WWII & all very accurate historically)
The Outsiders (there's that 8th grade crush on Johnny)
Are you There God It's Me Margaret? (Jenny ... I'd forgotten Norma
Klein until you mentioned her. I do think I read some of her stuff,
although it's not as memorable to me as Judy Blume)
And Ladies of the Club (Helen Hooven Santmyer ... one of my all-time
favorites)
Rikki Tikki Tavi (I know ... weird but true)
A Little Princess
Well, I feel like I'm forgetting some beloved book that is all forlorn
that I've forgotten to mention it, but it's late. I think this is my
list. :--)
