I can't understand it Les, I feel I can't fully take in a book unless I re-read bits of it, or leave it to mull over then reread the whole book months later. <BR/><BR/>Its one of the dilemmas I have with buying new books - will I be interested in it enough to read it again, and get the cover price worth of entertainment/stimulation from it. <BR/><BR/>And then there are whole series /authors that I reread almost yearly (Harry, but that may change now that it has come to a most satisfying ending - it was so good to be with you when I did that!) I have truly enjoyed rereading the Time Traveller's Wife again this year. And the Philip Pulman trilogy.<BR/><BR/>So NEW 2007 books? Hmm, I must say I was immensely moved by 'Monique and the Mango Rains' by Kris Holloway, a book of non-fiction about Kris' time in Africa with the Peace Corps and her friendship with a Malian midwife. Its very big in midwiferey circles, but anyone could get alot out of it.Laura Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299523378009842115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481340601069600500.post-63087640700779311832007-12-21T07:47:00.000+09:002007-12-21T07:47:00.000+09:00There seem to be quite a few of us who aren't keep...There seem to be quite a few of us who aren't keeping up with this year's books - I buy and read lots of older books. Don't buy much new at all, so it's often a year or more after they are published that I get round to them, by which time I've read lots of other people commenting on them and know that I definitely want to read them. And you're right, the best-of lists seem to be about sales.<BR/><BR/>It must be hard, being without your books - suspect I'd be buying second copies of some things!Jodie Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442935205880334932noreply@blogger.com
