I have found myself doing a lot of re-reading in the last few weeks, and really enjoying it. I never used to re-read books, but I found that if I am feeling sluggish in my reading, re-reading a favorite seems to kick start me again. What are your thoughts on re-reading?

Hello!
I re-read all the time! I love going back and visiting old friends and their stories. There are some stories that I re-read every few months, a few every year. Sometimes I read the whole book and at times I just read my favorite parts. I actually re-read more than I read new books...and I read new books all the time. :)

I’ve finished two books, and 90 pages into third book, I never re read unless it’s long time between last book and new book in a Series

So, I was wondering. If you had to go into quarantine (or be on a deserted island) and had the opportunity to take books with you, which books would you choose?
For me, I would bring the following because I could read them over and over again:
Tolkiens LOTR (plus the Hobbit)
Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern
Anthony Trollope's Barsetshire series
Jane Austen's novels
Harry Potter series
Sharon Lee and Steve Miller's Liaden series

I would take Jean Auel's Earth's Children series. I have already read these books a few times and never tire of them. That would be The Clan of the Cave Bear, The Valley of Horses, The Mammoth Hunters, The Plains of Passage, The Shelters of Stone, and The Land of Painted Caves

Although I am reading, I am finding myself distracted at times because of world events. So, it seems that reading shorter works is a better fit for me at this point, reading longer works seems to be more of a struggle. How about you?

I have been doing my best to cut off all media, which works for me!
I am almost done with Under Currents and it was on the longer side. I think because the story was so good and engaging this helped to keep my mind off things that are going on.
Also, after dinner my husband and I have been watching Magnum PI. 1980's Hawaii is a nice way to get out of today's craziness for awhile.

Book 3 is the easiest to get through.
