I noted the following post at ASV, which was inspired by John Cole at Balloon Juice.
The challenge: “five books I liked enough as a teen/young adult to read again as an adult”
It is easier for me to name five grouping:
1. Tolkein’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings
2. Isaac Asimov’s Foundation Trilogy
3. Roger Zelazny’s Amber Chronicles
4. Asimov’s Lije Bailey novels (The Caves of Steel, The Naked Sun,, The Robots of Dawn)
5. Asimov’s I, Robot
And I will, no doubt, read all of those again. One that I haven’t re-read, but will at some point: Dune (also the HHG “Trilogy”)
I would add a second list: Books as a Child (from Middle School back) that Helped Establish my Love of Reading:
1. Charlotte’s Web(in 4th/5th grade my favorite book–I must’ve read it 6 times)
2. Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet
3. The Hobbit
4. Asimov’s I, Robot
5. The Homer Price books.
6. The Encyclopedia Brown books.

The challenge, via Steven Taylor: "five books I liked enough as a teen/young adult to read again as an adult," followed by a bonus challenge I found oddly easier… 1. The Narnia series, of which The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is nu…
