When I was going through my books deciding which to post, (boy do I have a lot of books lol) I came across two in particular that I realized I just could not give up. Both are autobiographical in nature, but not in the boring I was born in 1952 kind of way. The first is One Particular Harbor by Janet Lee James and the second is Blue Highways by William Least Heat Moon.

I do not generally reread books, but these are two that I've read multiple times and plan to reread again and again.

I know how you feel - it's like getting rid of an old friend!  I've reread Illusions by Richard Bach, and Good Harbor by Anita Diamant several times.  I just got a new one - The Four Agreements, which I'll probably read over and over as well. 

Is 'Blue Highways" the book that was made into the movie "Electraglide in Blue"?  That was one terrific movie from long ago.  Quite a remarkable ending, too.  Nope...just checked and they were two different things. 

Cindy - now you've got one less.  I LOVE Louise Erdrich, so "Tracks" will be a keeper for me.  and maybe become an old favorite as well! 

Anything by Chaim Potok will never leave my house; I must have read most of his books a dozen times, ever since I was a kid.  And today I was at the used bookstore, and found one I've never seen!  Unless I just read it so long ago that I've forgotten, lol.

I feel the same way you do about  The Stand, Cindy. It is one of my all time favorite books and I kind of like the movie, although I would have done some of the casting a little differently.

Eve, I sent you a PM with this info, but it's worth repeating here.  Since you are relatively new, this may have been confusing.  I assume I am the Cindy (there seem to be 2 of us on this thread right now) that you thought you ordered "Tracks" from...your post fits with my signature line.  But, I think you ordered it from someone else with that book posted, which is perfectly all right with me.  But, in order to order from aspecific person, you must be on their bookshelf at the time.  This comes into play if you have promised to order a book from someone, OR if you are taking advantage of a deal listed by a member.  If you go to the Help Center under Browse Help Docs and type in order from bookshelf  there is a more complete explanation.  Again, this is not a complaint in any way but hope it is helpful to you!

Cindy (summerlady46)... I thought I was the only person alive that remembered "Electraglide in Blue" with such fondness.
