Books Re-Read

• The History of Love - Nicole Krauss
• The Sound and the Fury - William Faulkner
• Sophie’s World - Jostein Gaarder
• To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
• The Golden Compass - Philip Pullman
• Norwegian Wood - Haruki Murakami
• High Fidelity - Nick Hornby
• About a Boy - Nick Hornby

Re-reading is actually far more enjoyable, but I try to put at least four years between each re-read, so college favorites will have to wait a little longer. Wait for me, Brideshead Revisited! (Jk?)
