I loved Pride and Prejudice, and Rebecca was fantastic. I guess I wouldn't have either Harry Potter or Suzanne Collins on my list, but have Fountainhead and Catcher in the Rye instead.

I've read the first LOTR so I can't say a lot on that front yet. Maybe I'll choose that one after the last two. Harry Potter, check. Hunger Games, check. Jane Eyre... I wish! This is something I just know I'm going to love.

I also included Jamaica Inn on mine which just pipped Rebecca to the post for me :)<br /><br />I wish I could have made a longer list because I would have definitely added Jane Eyre, The Lord of the Rings and The Count of Monte Cristo too. I have The Awakening and Moby-Dick on my shelves to be read.

(Well, at least the ones...Ooh, I like your choices. (Well, at least the ones I've read!) #1 on my list would be <em>Pride and Prejudice</em>. I've thought many times that I wish I could read it the way I first did, without knowing what was going to happen, how it would all turn out, but mostly I wish I could recreate the magic that I felt when I read it. Ditto for my first read (only so far!) of <em>Jane Eyre</em>--I'm actually afraid to reread it for fear it won't be as good as it was the first time. <br /><br />The Harry Potter book I feel that way about most is actually the first one--that first introduction to the magical world, without any idea where it would take me, that it would turn so dark. In some ways so innocent. (I wouldn't, however, wish to revisit the semester of college in which I read this book--not a good one! This was definitely the highlight!)<br /><br />Those are the only books I can think of that I really would like to go back to 'for the first time.'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
