Sorry - I'm screwing up the order of this thread... but, I had to comment! Keira is SUCH a bad Lizzie! She's pouts all the time, and says quite mean things to everyone. I don't know why Mr. Darcy would like her!

But, in the BBC version Lizzie was amazing. She was witty, but not biting, and she has so much more going on for her.

Also - Colin Firth is the only Mr. Darcy. He is the only person who has been able to play the inner workings of a man who doesn't share his feelings freely. Mmm... Mr. Darcy

I've read Catcher in the Rye about seven times so far, about once a year since the first time I read it, and I've read Bag of Bones by Stephen King a few times too. Lately I've been going back and re-reading whatever Christpher Moore books I have. A Dirty Job is probably in my top three books now.

I too have read Catcher in the Rye so many times, I think many people have lol. Bag of Bones is a good read..I have a huge collection of King's novels...I reread Salem's Lot quite a few times. My entire Jane Austen Collection and most of my top 10 I'll always resort back too.

I generally don't like re-reading a book, but I have read "The Once and Future King" a couple of times. I love it for some reason.

I don't remember re-reading any book actually.. Isn't it just boring to read something over again?

Who knows, I might read a book over and over, if I really think it's worth it :wink:

Just read through Hitchhiker's Guide for the first time. I see myself reading this one multiple more times before its all said and done. I've read The Hobbit a couple times and The Giver a few times. Otherwise, I'm not really a re-reader. Like one of the previous posters said above, too many unread books out there :D

I've only re-read The Great Gatsby and The Giver. I would love to re-read the Awakening and Catcher in the Rye-- Since I haven't read them since high school but can remember loving them.

I don't reread a lot of books--too many books, so little time, as a lot of people have said! But I do reread The Great Gatsby every couple of years and Grapes of Wrath. There are some I think I'd to reread, but just never seem to get around to them. Maybe this winter!

Agreed completely. I don't think she's right for the character.

I've re read the Harry Potter series and Jane Eyre loads of times.
