November 4: Top ten books I’d like to read again
Firstly, happy Election Day, everyone! I hope you had/have the opportunity to vote today.
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is to list ten books you’d love to reread. Coming up with this list was both easy and difficult—there are so many from years ago (up to this last weekend) that I want to read again! But definitely I will find my way back to these ones, in no particular order:
The Princess Bride by William Goldman
My Life in France by Julia Child
The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
Angela’s Ashes by Frank McCourt
All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque
The White Bone by Barbara Gowdy
Lizz Free or Die by Lizz Winstead
City of Thieves by David Benioff
Yes Please by Amy Poehler (on audio next time!)
A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry
Honorable mentions (that I’ve already reread numerous times, but would easily read again): Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer, 1984 by George Orwell, and Le petit prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
What books from your collection would you love to reread one day?

Despite being ages since I’ve opened up Handmaids Tale, I guess I should thank the school system for continually pushing Atwood’s novels onto me haha. And more importantly…for pushing books I ended up enjoying!
Cheers,

I never read Atwood during school! Her work was never a part of the curriculum where I grew up. But I fell in love with her writing with The Handmaid’s Tale a few years ago after college 🙂
I’ve been desperate to re-read Handmaid’s Tale lately, too. I read it in high school and again in college, but it’s still been several years since I picked it up.
My copy is still boxed up from our last move in summer 2013. Sigh… I miss having all my books out on display but on the other hand I’m also too lazy to find space for them in our current apartment, lol!
I have The Handmaid’s Tale on my list also- my daughter has it on her reading list this year in school.
That is so great that Handmaid’s Tale is on school curriculums. I wish I had read it in high school (didn’t even know Atwood existed then!)
I’m listening to Yes Please on audio and it is amazing
yessssss!
