Books you have read. And read again

Posted by: JamieWednesday on 02 March 2009

Recently decided to return to a bit of Culture.

Even better than the first time I read this. Looking ofrward to re-visiting the rest now.

Anyone else returned to old reading to find it even more entertaining (and perhaps pertinent..? Apart from the flesh eating killer fatties...)

I read it when I was in the navy ten years ago.
Started again a while ago.

Much Hunter S Thompson has been reread over the years.

The same for Douglas Coupland, especially these two.
Azimov, as has been mentioned before, also Tolkein (but that will not be read again).

The first two parts of Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast trilogy, but not the third patched together part.

Memoirs of Hadrian - Marguerite Yourcenar (Grace Frick translation)

Beautifully written, I return to sections of this book over and over. I only wish I was able to read the original in french. Yourcenar was elected as the first female member of the Académie française, in 1980.

Henry Miller - Tropic of Cancer is one of those books which always reminds you of lifes many pleasures.
