What’s one book that you wish you could read again for the first time? Shawshank, January 5, 2021January 5, 2021 I’ve always said that you can only read a book for the first time. You can only be surprised by a twist or a cliff hanger once. Which book do you wish you could read again for the first time? For me, it’s A Storm of Swords by George RR Martin. Yes, that one. For those in the know, they know what I’m talking about. Crystal does for sure. This is the one book that I’ve thrown across the room once I hit that certain chapter. Do you know which one I’m talking about? The North Remembers. Yeah, I’m talking about The Red Wedding. Martins writing in that chapter is flawless. He navigates with expertise, I didn’t know what was happening until it was over. Cue throwing the book, and just rushing to get it, and rereading the chapter over again. I wish I could read it again for the first time. Lockup Library blogbloggerbookbook loverbook questionsbooksjournalreadingtalking about books
