After I wrote about My Antonia, one response I got was that it was a book my friend plans to re-read every so often for the rest of her life! That made me think ... what books do I re-read? And I have to admit I can't think of any off the top of my head.
What books do you re-read? Or what books do you plan to re-read, even if you haven't done it yet?

I, too, do the Harry Potter frequently. If I were a teen or pre-teen it would be my "go-to" book forever. Especially now that movies are out and I think Harry Potter is just about the cutest thing around for the teen set!
I love Gone with the Wind. Hardly anyone I know has read the book--just seen the movie, and that's too bad. The book has such great information about motives and social expectations.
And The Stand by Stephen King. Love the battle between good vs. evil and I'd read it every chance I got.
I posted this same thing on Calandria's site, where everyone else's favorite books are Russian classics, Shakespeare, etc. so I guess I represented the trashy reading set. Not that I haven't read all of those books...and loved them...and was deeply affected by them...just not what I usually pick up lately.
I guess I was kind of a post-stealer, wasn't I? Well, it was an interesting post, Karen, and quite worthy of stealing. Here are a few I mentioned on my blog:
Scriptures. Old and New Testament, Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, Doctrine and Covenants.
Chronicles of Narnia
Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, and probably some other Austens
Shakespeare's plays
Christy, by Catharine Marshall Maybe some of you think that's an odd one to read over many times, but that book really hits me!
Anne of Green Gables
Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm
Middlemarch
Brothers Karamazov
See what I mean? Look at Calandria's list--wholesome, edifying, enlightening, classic.
Inspiring. Not a Stephen King within 100 miles.
