Please link your reviews for the Re-Read a Classic From School here. This is only place for the Re-Read a Classic From School category. It could be a book you read in high school or college, and it doesn't matter if it was a book you loved, or a book you hated -- but please tell us how it compared to the first time you read it!
If you do not have a blog, or somewhere public on the internet where you post book reviews, please write your mini-review/thoughts in the comments section. If you like, you can include the name of your blog and/or the title of the book in your link, like this: "Karen K. @ Books and Chocolate (Howards End). "
Do you mean High School or Primary (elementary) school? Because there is nothing I want to re-read from HS and only ONE book I want to re-read from primary school, but I dont think it is currently in print, and I have long since lost my original copy. It's been 40 years since I left Primary school.
ReplyDeleteEither high school or college, as it states in the directions above. Complete rules of the challenge are here:

Of course, you don't have to read books in every category to be entered into the drawing. You can skip that one and still have one or two entries.
My re-read is Milton's Paradise Lost, which we read exhaustively in college and which I loved and continue to list as one of my favorite works. Time to find out if I still love it. I'll be reading it in the next few weeks and will write about it when I'm done.
ReplyDeleteCan I do this by posting through my Facebook site.
ReplyDeleteYou need to be able to link all your reviews directly to the various category challenges in a publicly accessible format, and I don't know if that would work with Facebook. I've had several people use Goodreads if they don't have a blog so I would recommend that if you don't want to set up a blog.
DeleteThank you Karen.
DeleteI'm re-reading The Importance of Being Ernest.
ReplyDeleteI have just read The Hobbit. I have reviewed it on Goodreads but can't like it to here, anyone help me?
ReplyDeleteThe easiest way is to set up a Goodreads bookshelf for the challenge, then link to the shelf. I need to be able to find your review in order to give you credit for your reviews for the challenge.
DeleteI reread My Antonia from high school and loved it even more than I did the first time through! I so love the word pictures Willa Cather paints.
ReplyDeleteI re-read HG Wells "The History of Mr. Polly". I hated it at school because it depressed me. In re-reading it I found an often humorous book that made an argument for education that expands minds and souls not crushes them. Thank Karen. I am so glad I re-read this.
ReplyDeleteJust posted my Light in August review! Enjoyed re-reading this one.
ReplyDeleteI neglected to comment at the time I posted. The Picture of Dorian Gray is a book I read in high school and, as my re-reading revealed, did not really remember at all.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Karen, I duplicated my linkie.
ReplyDeleteNo problem, I deleted the first one.
DeleteI did a reread of Pride and Prejudice but this time in audio. I chose the narration by Rosamond Pike and it was good! It's also very low priced combined with the free kindle edition, if anyone is interested!
ReplyDeleteI reread The Great Gatsby. Really glad I did too as I had only the vaguest recollection of it from H.S. and forgotten, if I even realized at the time, how good a writer he was.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, just added 'All Quiet on the Western Front.'
ReplyDeleteI linked my review for my reread, The Stranger by Albert Camus
ReplyDeleteI finished re-reading The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck.
ReplyDeleteI accidentally put the wrong link and had to redo my entry. I re-read Jane Eyre and LOVED it still! ...an made some interesting discoveries....
ReplyDeleteJust finished a reread of Great Expectations. I enjoyed it more this second time. http://100greatestnovelsofalltimequest.blogspot.com/2016/11/great-expectations-by-charles-dickens.html
ReplyDeleteJust posted about Emma, by Jane Austen - which I read for a college class. https://janegs.blogspot.com/2016/12/potpourri-of-classics.html
