While I was responding to the Quotes from Books thread, I thought of so many of my favorite books that I have not read in a while and am dying to re-read. It's hard to find time to re-read them since we all have such huge TBR lists, but what are some books you've been aching to read again soon?
For me:
-A Girl Named Zippy by Haven Kimmel -The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger -A Tree Grows in Brookland by Betty Smith -Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut -Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Great thread, Zelda! I definitely want to re-read special topics in calamity physics. Then there´s water for elephants, N.P. and Jane Eyre.

A lot of classics that I read awhile ago, but I would like to read again: - To Kill a Mockingbird - The Sound and the Fury - Pride and Prejudice - Jane Eyre - Anna Karenina - Wuthering Heights - Vanity Fair - The Great Gatsby
Other books: - Narnia series - Time Traveler's Wife - Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - The Eyre Affair - Special Topics in Calamity Physics (even though I finished it very recently)
The problem is that there are too many new books out there and that makes me put off re-reading my old books.

I would love to re-read: To Kill a Mockingbird. I bought it, and i'll get to it eventually. Adam Bede by George Eliot. East of Eden by Steinbeck Fall on my Knees Pride and Prejudice She's Come Undone
Those are a few I could think of.

Special Topics in Calamity Physics pretty much everything I own that I've read by Margaret Atwood (8 books), despite the fact I have another 4 of her books that I haven't gotten to yet. 1984 Music For Chamelons by Truman Capote the Harry Potter series Wuthering Heights

Nice thread, zelda!
- Obviously, the Harry Potter serie - Pride and prejudice - Wuthering Heights, because I haven't enjoyed it and I want to give it another try (in english this time, I'm pretty sure I haven't liked it for a matter of translation) - On the road

I haven't read Jane Eyre or the Anne of Green Gables books in awhile so I might have to do that. I'm actually re-reading now, I'm reading the Harry Potter books again.
