Friday Five - ReReads

 I am the first to admit that I never hardly ever re-read books (re-read or reread? huh).  It's true.  I feel guilt. All of the lonely unread books on my shelves STARE at me while I'm curled up on the couch with a reread.  But, I've been trying to be okay with it.  Baby steps and all.  So, today's Friday Five I thought I'd share what I would read if I ever get the guts to stare those unread books back in the cover.


1.  Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky - This book came out in the 90's I think, but I read it for the first time in 2009.  I was blown away; it was such an honest look at adolescents that I WISHED that I had read the book in high school.  Also, why hasn't he written anything else?

2.  Six Characters in Search of an Author by Luigi Pirandello - It's a play and one that I always mention when discussing anything reality bending.  This one will probably be reread this year.

3. Still Life with a Woodpecker by Tom Robbins - Has ANYONE else read anything by Tom Robbins?  I love this man.  Still Life was the first Tom Robbins book I read (but not my favorite, that goes to Skinny Legs and All) and I feel the need to reminisce a bit.

4.  House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski - This book captured me in a way that I've never experienced with any other book.  It was a complete visceral reaction.  Actually, I would even say that at times it tormented me.  I know that I'll love the reread, but it's such a commitment.  I don't know if I'm up to it yet.

5.  The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne - I read this book in high school and really appreciated it.   Since that was, like, fifteen years ago I think it would be interesting to see where it stands in my adult mind.


So, I would love to hear what your rereads would be!  Let me know!
