Joreads

Welcome to bloggiing Jo. I guess I'm the first. 37C is 99F for those who don't know the conversion. Just to compare, we'll be having a low of 2F tomorrow which is -17C. I'll trade ya.

Well, I really don't get to know a novel until the second read.

Aw this is nice, Jo!
As much as I loved Twilight, they're not "it" for me. That award goes to Arthur Miller's plays...I didn't realize you were quite that obsessed! It's awesome!

Hey Jo, nice blog. I don't really have any books that I could read over and over but if we're talking about movies...Star Wars (originals) would be it.

Jo! Beware, for once you step one foot into Blogworld you cannot come back!

I have read Treasure Island and Kidnapped several times and can never get tired of them.

Second papayhed's suggestion for movies to rewatch..the original Star Wars! Though in the third one Lucas started a trend that would continue. The Empire Strikes Back was a classic.

Oh, and I simply love watching 'Cyrano de Bergarac' with Gerard Depardieu.

I reread Captain Blood by Rafael Sabatini every four years or so. Have not tried the Twilight series though the ladies at work are all over the novels. Welcome to Blogland as Silas mentions. My wife get migraines semi-regular so you have sympathy. Again welcome Rich

Welcome, friend.

For me it was The Hobbit by Tolkien that I could reread over and over again, though I haven't read it for years. I don't reread much anymore..

And opening The Hobbit each time was quite like embarking on a wonderful journey.


99 degrees Fahrenheit?! My God, that's hot. I walked outside this morning at 7am to go to the bus stop and it was -5 degrees Fahrenheit. I'd take that over 99 any day.

Hey, Jo -- welcome to the Blogs!

I will have to see this movie "Twilight" to understand the attraction you have to it (assuming that it is based on this series you mention). Don't worry, though -- I am a die-cast V-For-Vendetta nut all the way!

And your thermometer is on the total opposite end of mine. At the present time, it is minus forty-three below Celcius. Converted or not, it is NUTZO cold out there!

Thanks Virgil I forget the conversions you guys have to do. You can keep the cold though - sorry my friend.

Charm I must be better at hiding it than I thought.

Papay I hear you on that one. I love movies and I can and do watch them over and over again.


Silas I am already hooked so you will see me around. I will try the books you mentioned by the way.

Rich I am beginning to think this novel is for the ladies and only the ladies. I hope your wifes migraines stay away.

Dori my friend thanks for the welcome. I have never read the hobbit but I have added it to my list. I don't like the cold to use to heat.

Kiz the movie is based in the first book. It is no where near as good as the book but still a four out of five. Thanks for the welcome.

By the way at about 2pm the southerly hit we went from 39 to 22 in about ten minutes. Sorry Virgil over to you to convert

We are a country of extremes we have floods in Queensland, 45+ temps in the west, and 30+ temps here in NSW. I love Australia.

Welcome to the blogs! Most of the books I reread are ones that are easy on the mind, you can open up to any page and know what has already happened and what is about to happen. If I'm sitting down for a good read, then I won't pick a book like that, but if I want to relax, then I read those books over and over again . And I sympathise with you with the weather! . I'm just glad I'm not around Kalgoorlie or anything, I don't think I'd last there!

Glad to see you blogging Jo. Welcome! I have reread several books in my life time.
Cat

Sprinks I hope it cools down for you there.

Cat thanks for the welcome to the Blog

Welcome to the blogs Jo
Hey, there's nothing wrong with enjoying Twilight - you like what you like and you're honest enough to admit it regardless of the criticism which is heaped in that direction. I really admire that. I feel the same about a lot of my favourite authors who don't fall into the 'literature giants' camp (so not Dostoevesky, Joyce, Shakespeare, etc, etc). I'm looking forward to reading some more from you.

Blog on baby

Hi Jojo, great entry!

By the by I have a few King books I reread every year or so... and I have forsaken Anna Karenina thus far to do it

*Gasp

Shame on my impertinence!

Welcome to blogging Jo! I must admit that you almost...ALMOST have convinced me to read Twilight. Almost. Maybe in the summer. .

Readers are indeed a very strange lot. Very queer . Incidentally, I do reread quite a few books over and again. LOTR is one of them .

Thanks fifth it is so refreshing to come across a few sane people

Matt you shock me you haven't read Ana - King scares the living daylights out of me otherwise I would be reading him to.

Andave you are a doll as always - now the pressure is on if you read it and don't like it we still have to be friends.

MORE MORE MORE
i want to read MORE

ten people??! ...
that is hard to believe! well, i kno i'm slow, but i am finally looking at your blog site.

i know u like Twilight, but i don't remember asking if you liked her other book, The Host.
