So what book or books were so great that you have re-read them? And why?
My most current re-read is To Kill a Mockingbird.
I read it in school and at the time it was just immoral for me to like anything that was mandated reading.
However, I hear such great things about this book that I was to revisit it - in hopes of falling in love with it?
Re: What are you Re-reading?
Just finished rereading To kill a mocking bird (read it because the sequel was coming out). I first read it when I was in school, I wasn't blown away by it back then and reading it again hasn't changed my opinion - it's okay. I've started reading Go set a watchman.
Now to answer your question, I've certainly reread many books and 99% of these were classics. I do read contemporary literature, but somehow they don't seem to leave an impact like the classics do, but hey.... that's just my opinion.
Re: What are you Re-reading?
See funny - that's what I feel about To Kill a Mockingbird as well.. but I think i'll still read it.
I do re-read more classics as well - but I've read Twilight thrice and I've also read Daughter of Smoke and Bones twice and A reluctant Fundamentalist twice. I feel like its a whole new book the 2nd time around.
Twilight I just read to escape real life.
Re: What are you Re-reading?
Yeah you should definitely read To Kill a Mocking Bird again, who knows, maybe you might actually end up liking the book.
Seriously…you read Twilight to escape reality 
. I read Harry Potter for that. I’ve probably read the whole series 8 or 9 times.
I’ve never read English books by Pakistani authors, are they any good?
Re: What are you Re-reading?
I love it when HP readers mock Twihards. 
I like Mohsin Hamid - he writes well. I also like Manto - he’s out of this world.
But for every Hamid and Manto there is a Aisha Saeed or Tamina Durrani.
So read the book for its story … not the author’s heritage.
That said I find many South Asian books relate or if not at least insightful.
Re: What are you Re-reading?
I’m so sorry, didn’t mean to mock you or any twilight readers out there, how could I, when I’ve read them myself 
Its just that i did not like bavli bella at all, she was as indecisive as Altaf bhai is nowadays, it took nearly 2 books (if i remember correctly) for her to realise that shes in love with chamkeela edward 
. And yes Harry Potter has its share of flaws too.
Few years back, i did try reading A Case of Exploding Mangoes, to see what was all the brouhaha about, sadly i could not even finish chapter 1, whenever i tried picking up the book, i started yawning, so i just gave up and returned it back to the library. But i have read loads of Urdu literature and i think it’s absolutely brilliant.
Re: What are you Re-reading?
Yup…and I think that Bella girl… Is in reality Kristen Stewart…Bavli …
I like sci fi…and on pleanty of occasions I have hunted for premchand… I don’t like chetan bhagat and crap he writes haven’t read any… I spend my days reading raakhi sawant’s and sunny Leone’s interviews when I m done with the world…
Baki…whatever I can find in that dusty old central library…
Mocking bird…I like bcz of Atticus …
Re: What are you Re-reading?
I dont know if any one else has read them...but i've been re-reading the whole set of imran series and jasoosi dunya by ibn-e-safi....its actually helped me improve my urdu a lot!
Apart from that Orhan Pamuk's museum of innocence was something i've read recently...
Re: What are you Re-reading?
Heard a lot about imran series…will definitely check it out.
Re: What are you Re-reading?
I don't think anyone in their right minds liked Bella. Super annoying!
Re: What are you Re-reading?
Heard a lot about imran series.....will definitely check it out.
