Until I got my beeyootiful sony 505, my regular re-reading list was:
LOTR - I read it most years, usually following one set of characters through to the end and then returning to the point where the Fellowship breaks;
Complete Sherlock Holmes;
All the Hornblower novels, in chronological order;
Wyndham, especially 'Trouble with lichen' and 'The Kraken wakes'
Row Lewis, 'The Evolution Man';
The moon is a harsh mistress;
Cold comfort farm;
Arthur Upfield - the 'Bony' books;
Now of course I've got this teensy weensy problem or two:
- I keep finding wonderful new titles to put on my reader and read;
- I keep discovering great recommendations here on MR;
- I can't afford to give up work yet to make more time for reading.
Oh, and Larry Niven's Known Space titles, and did I mention 'The Lure of the Limerick'?
(The limerick is furtive and mean,
You must keep her in close quarantine.
Else she sneaks to the slums
And promptly becomes
Disorderly, drunk and obscene.)
