Top Ten Books I Want to Reread

This week's Top Ten Tuesday is a list of the top ten books I want to reread (in no particular order).

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. I always love visiting Aunt Jane, and this year is the bicentenary of the publication of Sense and Sensibility. I'm participating in Laurel Ann's Sense and Sensibility Bicentenary Challenge, but I haven't made any progress at all.
The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling always stands up well on a reread, and I have read it many, many times. Maggie and I were reading together, but we have missed our daily readings over the last month or so, and she asked me just last night if we could get started again.
Emma by Jane Austen. I didn't like it as much as Pride and Prejudice , Sense and Sensibility, or Persuasion when I read it some time ago, and I want to see if it improves on a reread.
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. Winter seems like a good time to curl up with those frosty characters.
Beowulf translated by Seamus Heaney. I am thinking about writing an article for an upcoming issue of English Journal about Beowulf as a character, and I think I need to reread the whole thing in order to do it justice.
Possession by A.S. Byatt. I loved it very much about ten years ago when I read it. I think I'd like to reread it.
Interview with the Vampire and The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice. I haven't read these books in over 15 years, and I think I would like to reread them and see if they are as good as I remember. I recall them being absolutely wonderful then. I was such a huge fan of Rice until I found her books weren't living up to my memories of the earlier books in the series. Lestat is such a great character.
The Tain translated by Thomas Kinsella and Early Irish Myths and Sagas translated by Jeffrey Gantz. Research.
The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. It has been a long time since I read the whole series. I love Frodo and Sam.
The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough. Man, I remember that being such an awesome book.

What do you think you want to reread?
