Your Favorite Re-Read Books!

The Leonard Lopate Show | Jan 8, 2016

We enjoy talking about new books here at The Leonard Lopate Show, but there's this other, undeniable part of us that prefers worn pages, creased spines, notes in the margins, and dog eared corners. Phillip Lopate and Jane Smiley talk about some of their favorites. We'll also hear from our listeners who wrote in to tell us all about their cherished re-reads!

Don't forget to sign up for our Leonard Lopate Show Book Club newsletter!

Lois Hansen, one of our listeners, sent us photos of her 1912 edition of "Anne of Green Gables."
