Sitting Down with an Old Friend
Woman in the Middle | August 27, 2015I recently sat down with an old friend. I first met my friend when I was 13 or 14 years old. Sometimes we don’t get together for a few years, but, when we do, I love to revisit old times. This is my friend:
I distinctly remember sitting on the couch in the den of our house on Beechwood Place, finishing this book, pausing for half a moment, and then turning to page one again and staring all over. It was the first and last book I have ever down that with.
Descriptions I found online of Red Sky at Morning call it an “enduring coming of age story set in New Mexico during World War II. ” I just call it an old friend. I love it because of the way the author creates such memorable characters and settings. It makes me want to go live in a small mountain town in New Mexico.
I like to reread books, but usually, after rereading a book a time or two, I know I am done and I get rid of it, to make room for more books But this is one book I think I will be keeping for the rest of my life. When I read it again recently I enjoyed it as much as ever.
Do you have any books that are old friends, that you read again and again? I want to know what they are!
I like most Agatha Christie books. I have read all of them and would read them again.
You know, I have never read an Agatha Christie book. Do you have one in particular you like?
And Then There Were None is her most baffling book because everyone gets killed and there is no murderer!
I will have to check it out!
I’m a bit late with this but I reread Lord of the Rings every few years. Authors I reread include Jane Austen; Dick Francis & Georgette. Heye r.
