Tons of 'em.

Let's see....Tam Lin (by Pamela Dean), all of Jane Austen, most mysteries (I'm in it for the story & characters, not Whodunnit), Dorothy Parker, movie biographies of favorite actors, Berlin Diaries (by Marie [Missie] Vassiltchikov, Shakespeare, Helene Hanff's books, the Betsy & Tacy books by Maud Hart Lovelace, some of the Stephen W. Meader books (boys' adventure stories set in the 'teens and up)....

I read Fred Saberhagen's A Century of Progress nearly every year.  Particularly if I'm preparing to visit Chicago.

Y'know, sometime I ought to try buying something non-fiction about the '33-'34 Chicago Fair.

I re-read any Fitzgerald, O'Hara, Benchley, Wodehouse....

Collegiate guys in a jalopy!  Does it get any more me?

Tess of The D'Urbervilles, Weahering Heights, Tennessee Williams and Dorothy Parker. I've re read The Loved One a few times but don't know if it will be a constant in my colloction.

No, it worked for me....tell you what.

Just Google this:

"Robert Benchley Society"

You'll find it. (I also recommend you check out the Dorothy Parker Society. If you don't find the link on the RBS page, again, just Google for it.)

Do magazines count?

I've got a whole stash of prewar Reader's Digests that I tend to re-read alot!  Also some Popular Mechanics that I have.  Ummm....some other titles I re-read all the time are the Ernie Pyle stuff. 

As far as fiction, ahhh...not sure...maybe every  couple years or when I'm bored, I'll reread some stuff......

I've realized that I also re-read the Harry Potter books, quite often.

Go ahead, laugh...especially as I dug in my heels and refused to even bother until a fellow cubicle prisoner badgered me into it (the fact that she's something of a classical scholar tipped the balance). By then I think the third book had already been published.

J.K. Rowling is a brilliant writer and storyteller.

Sometimes I also re-read the books of Majorie Sharpe (she's the one who wrote Cluny Brown, among others...many of them were made into films, in the 30's & 40's.)

I haven't reread it in quite some time, probably since I read it the first time, but lately I've been eyeing that high school English class staple, The Outsiders. I only remember parts of it vaguely and like A Separate Peace which I recently reread, I want to see if the book is as good as when I first encountered it. A Separate Peace definitely was not as gripping or compelling as I remembered and that kind of upset me.
I'm also debating whether I should buy the book of The Outsiders or the 2-Disc Special Edition DVD movie version. It's a toss up. Even if I buy the movie, I still kind of want to buy the book.
Hopefully I'll still be able to relate.
Peace,
Pete
