So it’s that time of year when I no longer want to read new books, I want to revel in the comfort that I found in titles I love.

I used to be sad when this feeling rolled around but now I relish my re-reading of Macbeth, 100 Years of Solitude and everything that Junot Diaz has written.

I always re-read these books because they are so inspiring as a writer and a reader. I can always find a new layer of meaning and revel in the craftsmanship of these books.

Off I go. I will start with you Shakespeare because you were the first to have my heart.
