Sometimes you have to dust off those books you read years ago that you just can't forget. Maybe getting older has something to do with it. Or, perhaps I just don't feel there are enough books unfamiliar to me that will keep me entertained. Some of the books I've re-read in recent years have included "Catcher in the Rye" (a novel that really got me started reading as a teen),"Cannery Row," "The Great Gatsby," Richard Ford's "The Sportswriter" and several of Bill Bryson's books - "The Lost Continent," "A Walk in the Woods." Bryson's works are worth devouring two and three times. He's uproariously funny,and who doesn't need a good laugh? Give me a well-written book that takes me on an adventure, strikes my funny bone, and I'm a happy guy.
