“If you would tell me the heart of a man, tell me not what he reads, but what he rereads.”
François Mauriac
I’m re-reading right now. Are you? It’s an inward-turning and nostalgic time of year, perfect for well-worn paths.
My favourite books/authors to re-read and what they might say about me:
L. M. Montgomery, all 8 books in the Anne of Green Gables series (especially “Anne’s House of Dreams” “Windy Poplars”, and “Rilla of Ingleside”)
— I’m romantic, nostalgic, love spunky heroines
Georgette Heyer (especially “Frederika” and “False Colours”)
— also romantic, but with a zing for the wry
Bill Bryson
— I like anecdotes and obscure, wonderful facts
Terry Pratchett
— I admire satire, wry observations, complicated worlds, and being made to laugh
Sense and Sensibility
— I hanker for a world in which strength of character could be so absolute
What do you turn to again and again?

Bill Bryson for sure! I also love Christopher Robbins novels.
Austen, Shakespeare, Jane Eyre, Little House books, Anne of Green Gables for sure! Secret Garden is a right of passage.
May I just say, your Heyer collection is swoon-worthy. How did you acquire all those Pan editions? I turn to Friday’s Child with marathon regularity, myself. I also like your comment about Sense and Sensibility – well put 🙂
Hi Taz,
To answer your question, I secured most of those books 15 years ago when our library was having a big sale. It looked as though someone had donated their entire collection to the library and rather than shelve them they used them in a fundraiser sale. My mom and I are both big fans, so we bought two of everything we didn’t already have, and gently fought over the ones with just one copy.
