washerboy Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 I'm an avid book reader and have been since a child, my wife thinks it's odd that I can enjoy reading a book several times in say a 2 year period. Just wondered do others reread books. My all time read or over read book is To kill a mockingbird, followed closely by Rebecca. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penelope Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Many. Danny Champion of the World, my first proper book given to me when I was 10 or so - Pheasant poaching, a young boy and his dad. The Earth Children series by Jean Auel - Mankind in paleolithic europe, 5 books about 2 1/2 inches thick. When Christ and his Angels slept - Historic - The Stephen & Maude civil war of the succession. Loads more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wanting something similar to Sharpe Napoleonic war, set in the same period as Sharpie. I have read one or two. Have you seen or heard of the film 'Master & Commander' with Russel Crow? That's one of them. 2 minutes ago, billytheghillie said: Playboy, Mayfair, Readers Wifes etc. You get more than one read per copy? What about the stuck pages?
