- I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelo
- Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin
- The Book Borrower by Alice Mattison
- Bastard Out of Carolina by Dorothy Allison

I don't really reread books, but if I did, I would reread most of the books on your list. Well...those I have read. I haven't read The color Purple
ReplyDeleteWow A Time to Kill was an fabulous read and I could definitely see me rereading it again. I also need to reread The Color Purple and may try to do that for Banned book week.
ReplyDeleteI love your choices! A Time to Kill was a big favorite of mine so I'm glad that you consider it reread-worthy. I've read The Color Purple as well and it was fabulous. A few others are on my wishlist, but there are a few I haven't heard off - *off to goodreads*.
ReplyDeleteAll your choices are new to me I think. I might have read one or two but a long long time ago.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by today
I can't say that I have read any of these books for a first time, so I will definatly have to check them out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog
Interesting choices. I read some, heard of others, but the only two I really remember well are the last two, and I see how one would want to reread them to get better to the sense of them. It's something I do at the end of almost all of my reads, though, so I don't count that as reread :-) and now I wouldn't really want to go back to either of those two novels.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my blog!
Joy Luck Club, saw this one mention on another blogger list too. I liked the movie, don't know if I will read the book. I know why the caged bird sing, that should of been on my list too.
ReplyDeleteThe Color Purple and I Know Why the Caged Bird sings are fantastic rereads. Great list!
ReplyDeleteSome wonderful books on your list! I would like to reread The Color Purple as well. Several on there I have never read but would like to sometime (Dorothy Allison, James Baldwin)
ReplyDeleteI'd re-read the Harry Potter series. Which I porobably will sometime.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea Women of Brewster Place was a book too and that Gloria Naylor wrote it. I must be living under a rock. But I LOVE that movie. I couldn't get into The Color Purple book. But the movie...EPIC. I love to watch it when they play it on TV.
Joy Luck Club- great pick! I would also like to revisit that one. Really intriguing picks on your list. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my list.
ReplyDeleteThe Color Purple and The Joy Luck Club are two books that I know I have to read and I'm a little ashamed of myself that I haven't already. This list has reminded me of many great, practically classic books that I haven't read yet and need to.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog!
Love Joy Luck Club
ReplyDeleteI would definitely re-read the entire "A Series of Unfortunate Events" series. LOVED it! I would also like to re-read A Lesson Before Dying even though it was so dang sad. I have re-read The Poisonwood Bible at least twice and may again, it's so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI think its sad to say that I haven't read any of the books on your list. I have heard about some of these books from other bloggers, and think I have some catching up to do :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of the books yet but it looks awesome! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog!

Fight Club...so good! :)
ReplyDeleteI loved A Thousand Splendid Suns!! great list.. Always meant to read Joy Luck Club..
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
Ah, I want to read Fight Club. I've seen the movie multiple times, so I think I should read the book as well! :D
ReplyDeletegreat list! a few i havent read but want to! thanks for stopping by :)
ReplyDeleteThose are some great choices as well everyone. I haven't read the Unfortunate Event series, but I did like the films. :-D
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by and commenting everyone!
Fight Club and The Joy Luck Club are books I should probably reread too. Fight Club is one of the few cases where I prefer the movie to the book, but maybe I'd change my mind if I read it again.
ReplyDeleteI've only read The Joy Luck Club and A Thousand Splendid Suns from your list. But I've really wanted to read Fight Club because I loved the movie.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by In Libris Veritas
I don't re-read books, either. Your list is very impressive! Are you going to re-read any of them?
ReplyDeleteI've never actually read any of these! I don't think I will either anytime soon, they're not my kind of books right now. Glad you enjoyed them enough for rereading though. Thanks for stopping by! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I haven't read any of these! I'm more of a fantasy girl to be honest but I did like the movie of fight club lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my list
You have some excellent books in your choices. I have to say a book I always want to re-read is "Pride and Prejudice." Can't help myself. Another one would be "The Hours" by Michael Cunningham. It is so beautifully written.
ReplyDeleteI have Fight Club on my to read list. I saw the movie and alwys felt I needed to read the book to get the full story.
ReplyDeleteI'm due for my yearly reread of Beloved. I do hope that I get to it. I want to reread a couple of books by Somali author Nuruddin Farah. Also want to reread Master and Margarita by Bulgakov.
ReplyDeleteThe Color Purple would be my choice. I loved the movie and I wish I read the book.
ReplyDeleteAmazing list. A lot of these I haven't read for the first time. I loved both Bastard Out of Carolina and I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, although I'm not sure I'm ready to reread either of them.
ReplyDeleteCome visit my list at The Scarlet Letter.
I think the Film version of the Fight Club is awesome. I try to catch it whenever it comes on television. I don't think I will re-read any of the books on my list anytime soon because my TBR pile is so high already. I did like the film, The Hours, but have yet to read the book. I haven't read Beloved in such a long time, but the film version has grown on me over the years.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for stopping by, hope you'll visit again real soon.
I have seen the movie version of Fight Club and I loved it! I really want to read the book as well. Happy Re-reading!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read ANY of these. I may have to check some of them out :)
