Re – reading a book that you have enjoyed before is like eating comfort food. You know that you like it and that it will give you the same pleasure that you experienced with it before.
I have been reading favourite books and authors to de-stress and unwind for as far as I can remember. These are of necessity light reads like romance or cozy mysteries.
It is difficult for me to stay restricted to just 5. However, let me try :
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
The Secret of Chimneys by Agatha Christie
Lady of Quality by Georgette Heyer
Village School by Miss Read (Dora Saint)
The Diary of a Provincial Lady by E. M. Delafield
What are your favourites that you have enjoyed more than once?
I would love to know.
I don’t believe that I’ve heard of “The Secret of Chimneys” by Agatha Christie?

Then you have a treat in store for you. It is one of her stand alone novels. It doesn’t feature Miss Marple or Poirot but it is very entertaining.

Normally I don’t reread books but a few make this list: Dune (4th time) before the movie release, Man in the High Castle (so deep I learn something new each time), The Hobbit.

The poisonwood Bible, Jane Eyre, The Beach, The Hunger Games Trilogy, Mists of Avalon… that’s my top 5 of the top of my head. I’m sure I could come up with at least a couple more I’ve read at least twice if I think hard enough!
