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

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.
