I'm a rereader. Most of the books on my list I've read numerous times. I probably read Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter series (I know, light reading, but I work with heavy reading every day), and Pillars of the Earth once a year. The others every few years. My students can't believe I do that; so many of them have only read what they've been assigned in school (some not even that).

I read the books I teach every time I teach them, so I can almost cite Crucible, Frederick Douglass, Gatsby, Catcher in the Rye by heart. I used to do the same with Mockingbird, Antigone, Julius Caesar, Midsummer Night's Dream (my favorite Shakespeare), Of Mice and Men.

Currently, I'm plowing through Game of Thrones book series; I've decided he needs a good editor. Having the HBO series to watch is keeping me interested though.
