Rebecca
Page 56"The tangerine was very bitter. No, he had not said anything about being in love. Just that we would be married. Short and definite, very original. Original proposals were much better. More genuine. Not like other people. Not like younger men who talked nonsense probably, not meaning half they said."
I read Rebecca many years ago and now I'm rereading it for a review in conjunction with The Lantern. Have you read Rebecca? Do you ever read a book a second time .... or more?

The Bible (it was the book I had next to me)
Then his brothers said to him, 'Are you actually going to reign over us? Or are you going to rule over us?' So they hated him even more for his dreams and for what he said.
This was story of Joseph telling his brothers about his dream.
I read books again after a couple of years or more, and also I have two books that i have read 3 times each. The Watcher and Thor.. maybe 4 times since i have had them for more than 20 years. can't read them now because i have to have large print, can no longer read the paper back print
I re-read books fairly often. I've got one sitting in my pile awaiting a second read after a few decades. And I've read "Lord of the Rings" three times now. What amazes me is how different a book can seem on a second read: sometimes it's not good any more, and sometimes it's better. But it's always different.
I like to re-read some of my favorites.
Oh yes I re-read books. sometimes you get more out of the book the second time around sometimes you say "now why'd I do that?"
i love this very matter-of-fact approach this gentleman used to propose marriage. ha!
I LOVED this book...and I reread it a couple of times when I was young, but I want to read it again!
Thanks for sharing.
Here's MY FRIDAY MEMES POST
Love this passage. I'll have to check out this book for the first time.
There are only certain books I read again and again. I've gone back to some and been disappointed. I think there's nothing like the first time.....
Love Rebecca! I loved it the first time and again when I read it last year. Great snippet!

Yes, I think this was made into a movie?? I have read several books by this author, and this is her most famous, written quite a while ago. I have only read one or two books over. My favorite "One Hundred Years Of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
loved this classic. and have been meaning to re-read it. so many angles to it.
Sounds wonderful, thanks for participating!
I have not read this, but as for reading books over...yes, I have several that I read over every so often. I have read the four books by James Herriot I don't know how many times...you know All Things Bright and Beautiful; All Creatures Great and Small: All Things Wise and Wonderful; The Lord God Made Them All....plus there are a few others that I read every few years.
