POPWATCH: WHAT BOOK SERIES DO YOU REVISIT OVER AND OVER AGAIN?
Entertainment Weekly Popwatch – Asks us what book, movie, or tv series do we revisit over and over again? Could it be Twilight?
This weekend was an historical one (for me), PopWatchers: I finished re-reading The Lord of the Rings for the 10th year in a row. And to all the haters about to hit the “Comment” button: I’ve heard it all before. “Why re-read that boring garbage? Why not read other books?” Worry not. I do read other books. But LotR is special. Not only is it a reminder of otherwise blissfully boring summer breaks (though I switched to Fall/Winter when I got to college), but it’s also just…fun. I find something new every time I read it — especially since I’ve added Tolkien’s early history of Middle Earth, The Silmarillion, to my ritual — and diving back into that world always feels like a miniature homecoming. And, hey, Christopher Lee has done it every year since, like, the 1950s.So with the accomplishment of this feat, my thoughts – -as they so often do — turn to you, dear readers. I’ve heard of annual Star Wars viewings and the amazing Rocky Horror Picture Show re-enactments. And now that the seventh Harry Potter has been out for a year and a half, I bet some of you are starting your own annual Potterganzas. So, what books do you go back and re-read every year? Or maybe it’s a movie trilogy that gets you fired up during these winter months? Whatever it is, tell us in the comments!

Although this article doesn’t mention Twilight, I posted it because the Twilight series is what I revisit the most. I wander away and read other books, but I always come back for more Twilight. It’s like a crack addiction. And I need my crack on a regular basis. It’s your turn, what’s your crack addiction? What is the book, movie or tv series you revisit over and over again?
