I typically don't re-read books, there are just too many good books to read to go back to reading the same book over. However there are some books that are just that good and warrant a re-read, or you remember them to be good when you read them.
Last summer I re-read "Lost on Venus" by Edgar R. Burroughs together with my son and nephew. Burroughs was one of my favorite author as a boy, and I thought my boys would like the book.
Anyhow after re-reading the book I realized that book was terrible! Both my nephew and son also thought it was a terrible book, they still give me grief on how bad that book was
. So I'm left scratching my head and wondering why I liked this books so much as a youth, when it was really bad. I'm scared to re-read another one of my favorites with my children for fear of it ruining the memories
So I ask the question to others have you ever re-read an old favorite only to realize it was terrible!
I'd like to hear your stories regardless of your answer.
