summer reading  moduleRead the list of books mentioned for summer re-reading.
With Independence Day behind us and Labor Day still a long way off, you might say we're in reading season. New books, new characters, new twists of plot and turns of phrase. Does it ever occur to you instead to go back, and re-read something you've read before?

Just checking. Just wanted to see if you were paying attention. Did it sound a little different the second time around? Summer re-reading re-introduces us to characters who haven't aged, to stories we regard somehow differently as we grow older.
