I'm flabbergasted. That's almost 1 book every 2 days. How many hours a day do you read for ? :)<BR/>That is a stellar perfomance !<BR/><BR/>As regards re-reading, I don't think I could do it, knowing there are so many books out there, most of which one will never get to.<BR/><BR/>Great site. I'll definitely be back to read more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-76501310079386411752007-03-16T20:19:00.000+11:002007-03-16T20:19:00.000+11:00Before I started keeping a record of the books I r...Before I started keeping a record of the books I read (only 2 years ago), I was a voracious re-reader. I'd read books a dozen times if I loved them: "The Pursuit of Love", "The Accidental Tourist", "Terms of endearment", "Heartburn". Now, thanks to the blogging book world I've heard of so many interesting books that I don't have time to reread much any more.lazy cowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10756448890246596503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-65130234445699449722007-03-16T09:33:00.000+11:002007-03-16T09:33:00.000+11:00I do re-read.

I don't think I have many in my collection that have only been read once. <BR/><BR/>Ones from the library I don't usually re-read unless they are ones that I have read a long time ago and are again talked about or rereleased etc. Then I read again to refresh my memory. Others I re-read due to not quite "getting" it the first time, or realising that I missed bits, or misinterpreted bits the first time. Da Vinci Code was a re-read due to that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-86487815618890018522007-03-16T08:32:00.000+11:002007-03-16T08:32:00.000+11:00These days, I don't re-read entire books much, but...These days, I don't re-read entire books much, but I do re-read my favorite excerpts.Susan Higginbothamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517907583894026599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-75588061555460827142007-03-15T12:36:00.000+11:002007-03-15T12:36:00.000+11:00I am not much of a rereader either--too many books...I am not much of a rereader either--too many books I haven't read that I want to read first! I do have favorites I wouldn't mind rereading someday . . . I'm just not sure when that someday will arrive. There are only three books I've reread over the years: Girl of the Limberlost, Jane Eyre, and Pride and Prejudice. I've read each one twice.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-42196889481126864942007-03-15T08:36:00.000+11:002007-03-15T08:36:00.000+11:00This explained why my TBR pile is raising up ;) It...This explained why my TBR pile is raising up ;) It seem I been adding more books on my TBR pile than just reading the books to bring my TBR pile down *sigh*<BR/><BR/>I do re-read books. If most people have read at my blog, am big fan of series reader. So once in awhile I would want to go back and re-read to remmeber those old favorite characters. My main reason I re-read though, is because when an authors have a latest book out that is part of an on going series, I like to re-read the older books to get refresh on some of the other characters that will make apperance in the latest book. It help me to remember things.<BR/><BR/>But I do re-read old favorite stand alone as well, if am re-reading it with a friend or group of friends.<BR/><BR/>This is fun question, Marg :)Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327851309182088290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-89382686769706498762007-03-15T04:58:00.000+11:002007-03-15T04:58:00.000+11:00I don't reread as much as I used to, but occasiona...I don't reread as much as I used to, but occasionally I do. But I really only reread my favorite, favorite books, and usually only when I'm feeling sick or blue. It's comfort reading. :)<BR/><BR/>And I know I'm late with this, but love your new template!

When I do it's usually because of a book group and we are reading something I've already read.

Either I'm cleaning out books and read the blurb or remember how much I enjoyed it and the next thing I know I'm re-reading it.<BR/><BR/>Another way I re-read is because despite my towering TBR nothing lights my fancy and my subconcious with remember some book I really enjoyed and I'll searching the book shelves for the book to read it again.<BR/><BR/>I usually re-read something about once a year. I already re-read the PROMISE series by Sarah McCarty in January this year which was unusual because I read all 3 books of the series. I'm probably done with the re-reads for awhile now.<BR/><BR/>Should have probably saved this for a post since it's so long!Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868327419940314643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-69177614364599440452007-03-15T00:47:00.000+11:002007-03-15T00:47:00.000+11:00I reread quite frequently, moreso now than in the ...I reread quite frequently, moreso now than in the past. I rather feel like it's visiting with an old, dearly loved friend. But it does have to be a few years since the last read, usually, because if I remember it all I get bored pretty quick. And for some reason it's mostly YA books, which are quick and easy reads anyway.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331915574696737725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-44678605387889206482007-03-14T22:15:00.000+11:002007-03-14T22:15:00.000+11:00I don't reread for the same reason as you, too man...I don't reread for the same reason as you, too many good books out there that I want to read, and for the simple reason that if I like a book, I have a hard time forgetting it enough to read it again.Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.com
