So what books have you recently returned to? Perhaps you thought they were boring, but then changed your mind. Perhaps you were interrupted by the birth of a child. Perhaps you left it at your mum's house and have only just got it back.

Regale us with your tales, and tell us how you're getting on.

Discussion of future returns also appreciated.

Kavalier and Clay. Stopped after 50 pages or so when I first picked it up a couple of years ago. Enjoying it much more this time.

I will return to Martin Chuzzlewit as it is the very last of Dickens' novels that I haven't read yet. I have tried a couple of times, but didn't like it. Now that I have read all the rest, I know I will miss Mr D too much to be away from it far longer yet

I am having a lot of fun with Garrison Keilor--I have had five of his books for a long time and am just now getting to them. Lake Wobegon stuff. Really good!

It's toooo cold outside for Dickens and Proust. Laughing warms you up. (Not that I'm reading them outside, you understand.)
