Hi, Boy am i enjoying myself! Im going back to re read books from way back. I cant remember reading this one before:
'Return of the Native' Thomas Hardy.... everyone loves and reads Tess of course...
I find this one so funny! The scenes with the gossipping villagers are so wonderfully described. what a wordsmith!!!
Im also re reading the Hobbit (must be the tenth time) Another one where you find something new every time. Where would we be without books...Love ren

Hi Ren!! I, for one, can't re-read a book. I get 20 or so pages into it and WHAM, I know where its going and there's no mystery anymore.

The one book I re-read and found to be just as good was the "Queen and I" by Sue Townsend. Basically the UK Monarchy gets abolished and the Royal Family get stuck in a really bad housing estate. Just as good (if not better) second time around.
