I totally agree with you about mood, and I'll add that time and circumstances also factor into a reading of a book. I read P&P first when I was 14 and hated it. Read it again at 20-something and loved it. The book didn't change, but I certainly did.<br /><br />Though, like you, there are some (like Wuthering Heights!) that I refuse to try again. I guess I'm getting pickier as I get older!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00217383813263874657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-26032983604237943562009-08-17T22:43:02.183-05:002009-08-17T22:43:02.183-05:00I'm really racking my brain to see if there wa...I'm really racking my brain to see if there was anything I have went back to and liked. One thing off the top of my head is Deep Space Nine, which I ignorantly wrote off when it was on television and hold in the highest esteem now, after watching all 7 seasons. I miss that show so much now. The most recent book I gave up on was Mainspring by Jay Lake. I'm a big fan of steampunk and this got really good reviews but I just wasn't getting into it. I read over half of it and just stopped. I had just finished Asimov's Foundation trilogy and was blown away by it, so perhaps any book read right after that was bound to suffer by comparison. I should probably go back and try it again.Carl V.

But I've definitely had this happen to me with music CDs. I had to wait for the right time to listen to them. Suddenly they were fantastic! You're right, mood comes into play.Sukohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11893742747135555499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33553028.post-49467948940472942232009-08-17T13:29:45.230-05:002009-08-17T13:29:45.230-05:00I have really disliked books and never went back t...I have really disliked books and never went back to attempt to at least enjoy them.

I fell in love with her in university and now love all the books!Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02819784931932219371noreply@blogger.com
