Rereading Revisited Bracket: Round Three

Welcome to Reading Revisited, a place for friends to enjoy some good old-fashioned book chat while revisiting the truth, beauty, and goodness we’ve found in our favorite books.

Hello Again Readers,

We have made it to Round 3! This week was a sad one for me as I had to say goodbye to two Graham Greene books that I would have LOVED to discuss with you all. We also lost A Tale of Two Cities, which is a really lovely book (but I wasn’t sad to see it go because I will always want an excuse to reread Kristin). Brideshead Revisited and Till We Have Faces ended in a tie so I let our regular book club attenders break the tie. Even the tie breaker was a nail biter! But, after much Brideshead propaganda campaigning on my part, it pulled out a win! I will call it a buzzer beater to stay in theme with the sportsball analogy we are working with.

The three of the books left are in my Top 5 and the one that is not, I still would love to reread. As you are choosing, remember: these are all great books, but you are not just choosing a book to read (or reread), but you are choosing a book to read as a group and discuss together. All of these books deserve to be reread, but some of them are better discussion books (or need more pressure to be reread and are enjoyed more with discussion).

For logistic purposes: If Hannah Coulter (200 pages or so) or Brideshead Revisited (300 some pages) wins they will be read in one month. If Anna Karenina (800 pages) wins we will give it two months. And if Kristin Lavransdatter wins, we will read it over the course of 3 months (one month per book in the series, each a bit less than 400 pages). We will plan the rest of the list around the book that wins.

Just as a reminder, we are rereading ONE of these books for the 25-26 Reading Revisited year. So, get out there and vote!

Come back next week for the FINAL TWO! We can only reread ONE of these books as a group, so choose carefully!

Until next time, keep revisiting the good books that enrich your life and nourish your soul.
