Booking Through Thursday: Replay

This week, BTT asks: Have you ever finished a book and loved it so much you went right back and started re-reading it again? (And obviously, if so, we want titles!)

And the answer is yes, I have but it's been a really long time since a book had such an effect on me. It used to happen all the time when I was a child -- I'd discover a new favorite and read it over and over and over. Of course, back then I had world enough and time to do that sort of thing. Haven't done any immediate re-reads recently -- too many other interesting books out there calling my name.

However, if I had an unlimited budget of reading time, there are some books I've read in the last few years that I might have considered reading more than once. These are a few I can think of:

• The Age of Innocence, by Edith Wharton
• The Club Dumas, by Arturo Perez-Reverte
• The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, by Mark Haddon
• The Hills at Home, by Nancy Clark
• Lying Awake, by Mark Salzman
  
• The Return of the Twelves, by Pauline Clarke
• The Shadow of the Wind, by Carlos Ruiz-Zafon

There is one book I read and loved many years ago, that I just might be re-reading very soon. I've got Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House on my list of possible reads for the RIP/VI Reading Challenge, so maybe I'll find out if it's just as good and scary as it was the first time around.
