Good re-reads

The Ginger Tree by Oswald Wynd. The story of a young woman starting married life in the 1900s in Japan and how her life evolves and changes. Written in the 70s. I love it then and I still love it.

Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks. The story of a Derbyshire village that closed its borders to stop the plague from spreading. Its a fairly easy and quick read despite the subject matter.

Both feature strong women at the centre.

Also Wives of Fisherman by Angela Huth. Real twists and turns.

The Gormenghast Trilogy by Mervyn Peake - I've re-read these books about once every ten years since I was in my early 20s and love them. Far superior to J.R.R. Tolkien, imo.

I suppose I do the same with the Jeeves and Wooster books by P.G. Wodehouse - they still make me cry with laughter - I'm very shallow, I don't do serious books.

Having had it sitting on my Kindle for at least a couple of years, it was probably a cheapie at the time, I've just started reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Enjoying it so far....

But I think I will have to start rereading some of my first books on the Kindle as most of my favourite authors have become rather pricey! I'm sure Amazon have been surreptitiously raising their prices over the years!
