Jonathan Yardley's Second Reading column

An occasional series in which The Post's book critic reconsiders notable and/or neglected books from the past, appears periodically in the Washington Post.

Among books he's looked back at:

Laura Ingalls Wilder's Well-Insulated 'Little House' (By JONATHAN YARDLEY, November 8, 2007, Page C01)

The Extravagant Tale of Mr. Blandings' Dream House (By JONATHAN YARDLEY, July 18, 2007, Page C01)

Stevenson's 'Treasure Island': Still Avast Delight (Post, April 17, 2006, Page C01)

The Little People, Writ Large (By JONATHAN YARDLEY, January 31, 2006, Page C01) [Bleak House]

Hornblower, Still Under Full Sail (By Jonathan Yardley, December 26, 2005, Page C01)

The Writer Who Was Full of Grace (By JONATHAN YARDLEY, July 6, 2005, Page C01) [Flannery O'Connor]

A.J. Liebling's Delectable Political Jambalaya (By JONATHAN YARDLEY, January 20, 2004, Page C01)

These are just a few from 3 pages of links. I'm overwhelmed. Maybe I'll weed through later and make a list of the baseball books; there are several. This is obviously a great place to go for ideas on what to read next.
