The topic today: books I could re-read forever. These are all favorites of mine, but not all favorites are ones I could re-read forever. I don’t re-read often, although I should. I choose not to as much because I like to spend my time reading new books, finding new possible favorites. But sometimes falling into an old favorite though is one of the most comforting things a reader can do. These are ten books that will always be a comfort to me.

I do need to re-read Let’s Pretend This Never Happened. I loved that book so much. I can’t believe I’ve never read her second one, although I bought it – who could resist the happy raccoon on the cover. Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot and The Shining made my list as did a Pooh book. I don’t really enjoy re-reading much and like you, usually prefer discovering new books.

I listen to clips of Let’s Pretend when I’m in a foul mood. It always sets things right. 🙂

I haven’t read I Feel Bad About My Neck yet, but I’ve heard so many great things about it…if it’s super re-readable, I might have to pick it up soon!

Honestly, all of Nora’s books are readable. Heartburn is one of my favorites but I Feel Bad is certainly the best.

Some very good picks on here, Bonnie! The Lover’s Dictionary and Let’s Pretend This Never Happened couldn’t be more different, but I loved them both. I should try re-reading them at some point soon!

I’ve read Lover’s Dictionary twice (it was even better the second time) and I listen to Let’s Pretend occasionally when I’m having a bad day. It’s hilarious on audio.
