It is interesting to see the book again with new insights.<br /><br />Interesting about Neuromancer! My book that I reread most years is The Long Goodbye by Raymond Chandler. It is always a summer read for me.<br /><br />TrishBirdhouse Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075857846666114496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203576453126494928.post-13854826421780543582014-04-04T09:15:21.323-04:002014-04-04T09:15:21.323-04:00NEVER.

And I sometimes reread favorite books I read a number of years ago, just to see if I still love them or if I see them completely differently as I mature. There is one book that I reread just about every year - Neuromancer by William Gibson. I love being immersed in the world of that book, love the quirky characters and the way Gibson pulls all the threads together at the end. I first read it in the '90's and I'm still not tired of it.planetqueennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203576453126494928.post-16626094091733671342014-04-03T17:54:31.255-04:002014-04-03T17:54:31.255-04:00Bob, good to balance the old and the new!

I belong to a children's literature discussion group, and we discussed rereading recently. I've been making a list of my favorites ever since. :-)Birdhouse Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075857846666114496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203576453126494928.post-13792183131346753002014-04-03T15:44:27.166-04:002014-04-03T15:44:27.166-04:00More of a rereader here, but over the last year I ...More of a rereader here, but over the last year I have been indulging in more new stuff.
