I'm not staying with my reading plan very well because of re-reading old favorites. Every few years it seems I must revisit Jeeves and Bertie, Mapp and Lucia. Sometimes I feel like a regular of the midnight showings of the The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Familiarity with the stories and dialogue does not lessen the pleasure.

I don't actually want to re-read, at least in theory, because of the length of my TBR list. But several of the books I've read so far this year, beyond Wodehouse and Benson, have been books I remembered loving many years ago. Oh well, I suppose we read most often for the pleasure it brings us.
