ORIGINAL: geofflambert I don't re-read books very much but years back I re-read The Hobbit, trying to figure out how they could make one movie out of it, let alone three. When I was young I read everything I could get my hands on from E.A. Poe, Jules Verne, Franz Kafka, Dostoyevsky, Vonnegut, Asimov, Bradbury, Hesse, R L Stevenson, H P Lovecraft, Chrichton, Conan-Doyle, Hugo, and lots of SciFi. I liked Oliver Twist and A Tale of Two Cities but I tried to read David Copperfield three or four times and just couldn't. What an awful, horrid, wretched book. I tried to read Eliot's Ulysses but just couldn't deal with it, though I'm sure it is excellent, it just goes over a poor gorn's head. One book I did re-read several times is Moby Dick, perhaps the best book I ever read. Thanks for the reminder. I have read "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" a few times. A heavy read but brilliant.
