My brain doesn't always track any too perfectly, LOL!
Sometimes I do find myself reading a book, then realize it seems familiar and then realize I read it long ago. This never worries me, because I've inevitably forgotten exactly how it turned out, so the old book is brand new again.
Then there are those that I just re-read fairly regularly, because they are old friends, I know them upside and down, and just love the words. Or the story, or both.
I've an itch to re-read
Into Thin Air, currently, and probably will soon. Heaven knows where that will lead me off to.
Moby Dick, which I took most of September to read in a leisurely fashion, enjoying the journey immensely, had me going into
A Night to Remember, then
Blind Man's Bluff (both non-fiction, but one about the Titanic, one about submarines during the Cold War era), and that took me to a re-read of
The Hunt for Red October. I guess I'd had enough of whaling, but not quite enough of sea adventures yet, LOL!
Whatever my brain says is interesting at the moment, I read.
