when do you abandon a book?
I'm not very good at it, but I might be about to do it again.

@slipstream @Helen50 @bookstodon I rarely pick up a book I won't at least like. I have only DNFed one or two books in my life.

@bookstodon folks, what’s a book you read once and then revisited many years later? did it hold up? or age like milk?

brought to you by my reread of The Sparrow, which made me feel bonkers.

@lunalein @bookstodon

Walden. I've read it a handful of times. Love it.
Desert Solitude, by Ed Abbey. My favorite book of all time. I reread every few years.

From my youth. They still hold up so well…
Starship Troopers (I know; very different from Walden)
Most anything by Jack London or Maupassant or Poe or Lovecraft

Recent reread:
The Road, by Cormac McCarthy. Just so incredibly good.

@jcalexandrewrites @lunalein @bookstodon "God did it." Seems to be enough explanation for a lot of people IRL. ;)
