It’s another Tuesday and another Top 5 Tuesday, hosted by the always amazing Bionic Bookworm, Shanah!
This week we’re talking about books that we want to re-read. Personally, I don’t often re-read books. I already don’t have time to put the smallest of dents in my TBR, and those are all new books. How is my situation going to get better with re-reads.
However, sometimes I look back on books that I “loved” and can barely remember a thing about them. Maybe there is something to this re-reading thing after all.
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
As a life-long fan of comic books, I geeked out with this comic-based historical fiction. I feel like I remember a lot of it, but I definitely need to read it again.
American Gods
I enjoyed the first season of the show, but I couldn’t remember how close or far it was from the original book. People would ask me how close they were and all I could do was shrug.
Fahrenheit 451
Haven’t read this one since high school. I remember liking it, and I remember most of the plot points. But with the world going the way it is, I was to read it again and see how close we are to this “future.”
The Hunger Games
I really liked this series. And then the movies came out, and I thought they were really cool and really well done. However, years later, whenever I think of this series I feel like I have a chip on my shoulder. Like something about it left a bad taste in my mouth. I can’t for the life of me figure out why. Re-read required.
Wool
This is one of those rare books that pulled me out of a big-time reading slump. I’ve always wanted to continue the series, but I don’t think I can without re-reading this one first.
That and The Art of racing in the Rain was what I expected from you too Joe 😉
The Hunger Games just missed my list but I’d love to reread that, too! I’d love to read American Gods one day, did you enjoy it?
Honestly, I remember so little about it. I liked it enough that I was really excited when I heard they were making a show of it! LOL
That’s fair enough, maybe I’ll give it a go one day!
American Gods is just SO LONG to try to reread
True. I may audiobook it for the second go around
I’ve been curious about the American God tv show, and the book. I’m glad to hear the show was good because I’ll probably start there. 🙂
