Good books you would never read again.

Johnathan Strange and Mr Norrell. Fantastic book, but wow, what a convoluted brick of a read.

For me everything I read. Because I will never read the same book twice when I have so many other books to read for the first time.

Good answer. Although I will admit to occasionally re-reading something by accident. I had one recently... I'm SURE I've read this book before, some bits of it were so, so familiar, like I'd seen it all before in my mind's eye, and I remember loving bits of it, like the ideas but also the author's delicious choice of words. I also remember the cover. But other bits of the story, I had no idea of, couldn't predict the ending, etc. I'm assuming I might've read it in my deep, deep sleep deprivation days and so it just didn't encode in my memory? Anyway it's a bit of woo-woo-woo (*mysterious music*) kind of thing, because it's about being plucked out of normal consciousness and into an alternate reality, and that's exactly how I felt while I was reading it. LOL

This Charming Man. Couldn't put it down (I love my chick lit) but damn. Never again.

The Light Between Oceans. For some ridiculous reason I read it when DD2 was tiny. The pain will never leave my heart.
