Re-reading old favorites

connaticJo Walton has been writing a series of posts on tor.com about books she's enjoyed and read repeatedly. I'm really enjoying these posts and they've set me on the path to re-reading old favorites again.
Take CJ Cherryh - I've generally enjoyed reading her books, frequently greatly enjoyed reading them; but in the Big Move of 2000 (two international moves in six months) I got rid of her books. But after reading Jo Walton's post on the Atevi books I picked up a bunch of Chanur and Cyteen paperback at the library bookstore and, of course, greatly enjoyed them.
I'm re-reading my Steven Brust (Taltos) and Eric Frank Russell books. They are treasures and deserve better than just sitting on my bookshelves.
I've also picked up a bunch of her recommended books and am slowly working through them. Her taste in books is pretty good, though her recommendations are not 100% hits for me. The amount of analysis she does is amazing to me - she picks up a lot about the books that I, just reading for entertainment, never would.
Anyway - thanks Jo! Please keep posting to tor (and I hope they pay you well - you certainly deserve it). Just don't neglect your LJ blog...
