The Writing Life, Books, and Things That Make Me Go, "Ah"
Every year, I reread Atlas Shrugged and Stranger in a Strange Land. I don’t know why but it seems I can never read those two books enough.
What about you? What books do you read again and again? What about those books call to you?

Exploring new worlds one book at the time
The things I find myself reading and re-reading are Longfellow’s lengthy, non-rhyming poem, “The Courtship of Miles Standish” and Baroness Orczy’s French Revolution masterpiece, “The Scarlet Pimpernel.” I tend to reread them–somewhat ashamedly–because they’re both fairly short, so if I want something that will draw me in but not render me useless to the world for 36 hours, they’re my go-to’s.

LOL – render you useless for the 36 hours? I totally get that. I haven’t read the Scarlet Pimpernel in a really long time.
My faves are not quick reads but I like getting lost in them – it’s like going to a favorite vacation spot and just letting it all go. 😉
