Paatricia, some of my favorite books to reread are:
The Razor’s Edge by Sommerset Maugham
Franny and Zooey by J. D. Salinger
Women in Love by D. H. Lawrence
Daniel Martin by John Fowles
Warlight by Michael Ondaatje
Lost & Found by Kathryn Schulz
and
Ordinary Love and Good Will by Jane Smiley (Best two short novels ever written.)
Thank you! I’ll add them to my list.
I do the same. If I am just not enjoying a book I skim, if that is not working I skip and read the last couple of chapters. Sometimes that will provoke me to go back and read. I especially use these techniques for Bookclub choices as I don’t want to go to a meeting without knowledge of the book.
