Thinking about books I've read more than once


Yesterday, I noticed that three books I had checked out of the Crown Center library were books I had already read.  Yes, I do re-read books, but having that many at the same time surprised me.  I am now in the middle of re-reading Oh William! by Elizabeth Strout, literally about halfway.  So I'll keep reading that one.  You can see what I wrote about it, HERE.



I also checked out Being Mortal by Atul Gawande, knowing that I had read it before.  It is a wonderful book, and I decided that it was time to read it again.  Not only have I mentioned it on this blog at least half a dozen times (as you can see HERE), but it is a book I have recommended to many readers.


The third book is March by Geraldine Brooks, which I read so long ago (the copyright date is 2005) that I had not even started blogging.  My first blog post was dated January 2007, HERE.  I will probably read each of these three books (I mean, re-read them, of course) before returning them to the library.
