Just Wondering ...

 

Lately, as I  watched Katy re-read all the Harry Potter books, I began to wonder which book(s), if any, had captured my imagination enough to compel me to pick it up again and re-read it.  I wonder ...

With shelves full of my 'wannabe's' (as in ... I wannabe the next one you read)  I don't usually go back and revisit books - movies, yes - books, not so much ...

And truth be told, I am a Blue Ribbon winner in the SSS category (Slow reader, Short attention span & Several books on the go at the same time).  I haven't decided if this is a curse, lack of Vitamin D , too much TV or a genetic malfunction but nevertheless - it's who I am and I have simply learned to 'embrace' it!

"A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise."

- Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac, 1948

Anyhoo, after scouring my bookshelves I finally found a book that I know I have picked up and read several times  - A Sand County Almanac, by Aldo Leopold.

First published in 1949, a year after his death, the book is a collection of  essays, sketches & observations written over a period of time about his love of nature, wildlife conservation and ecology.

I love this book. 

Wolves, Aldo Leopold

Humph - that appears to be it,  Guess  I was right - I'm not a re-reader!  But - the weird thing is that I keep all the books that I have read & loved.  Who knows, perhaps I am planning on reading them again in my next life ...

How about you - does anyone out there have a favorite book or two that they have loved so much it became a twice-read tale?  If so, please share and let us know because maybe we would like to read it too ...

I have only one book that I have ever re-read. I read it many times as a kid and I have already read it twice to Hannah and John, they too loved it. It is called the Secret World of Og. I know it is not all that sophisticated but I loved the imagination the kids had in this book and the ability they had to make such fun all on their own.

I will definitely be reading it again. I would walk upstairs and check who the author is, but I am much too hot to do that right now.
