Faye’s comments from the The Reading Challenge Group group.

I don't get much time for re-reading either, what with my insane book list that could easily stretch as far as the moon, but I do treat myself every now and then to a re-read of Jane Eyre, A Tale of Two Cities, or pretty much anything that L.M. Montgomery ever wrote. They're my happy places. :)

Also, every Christmas I HAVE to read A Christmas Carol. That's probably my most-read right there.

Welcome, Aimee!

Aside from children's books, what would you say is the book (or books) that you have re-read most often?

Um... I may want to come and live at your house, Francine. SO MANY BOOKS, OHMIGOSH. :P

I love all the hardbacks! And I notice you have a shelf of L.M. Montgomerys, same as me! Awesome. :)

Welcome, Meg and Kristin!

Welcome, Richard!

SAKI!! *bounces* :D

The Goodreads page for this book says it's just over 200 pages, and the "briefer" one is about 170, so it didn't seem that much briefer to me. Whichever one people want to go with will probably be fine.

I haven't even heard of that one! Did you read it, Sandy? Is it good?"

Aw, that's too bad. Wayne Johnston is such an excellent writer!

Yep, anything funny. :)

I enjoyed it, too.

What books are on your to-read list this month?

Ahh, the funny side of life... from nonsense verse to dark comedy, there's nothing quite like a good ol' belly laugh to clear the sinuses and put life's problems into perspective.
