Books you read over and over (and over) again

The Four Agreements is my re-read book by Don Miguel Ruiz. The agreements are simply common sense rules for living, but difficult to practice in daily life.

 

Enders Game by Orson Scott Card

 

I reread The Hobbit about 3-4 times a year. One of my favorite books and a great way to spend a quiet evening on the porch swing.

 

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski

I don't know what it is about this book, but I have read it three times now, and last week got the audio from the library, and listened to it.
it is the authors first book. To me , it was one of those books that i hated to see end.

 

This thread is giving me so much ammo.

I don't read much; I simply don't force myself to sit down with a book (even if I know the book is good) and read it often. Must hit up the library.

Books that immediately come to mind that I would re-read include Hemingway's "A Farewell To Arms," Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood," The HP series, and Garth Nix's "Seventh Tower" series.
I still haven't finished Seventh Tower... this tells you how infrequently I read.

Updating my To-Read list!

 

Some of the classic Stephen King works. 'Salem's Lot, Christine, The Stand. Haven't yet read Pet Sematery though. That one scare my mom so much that she swore off King for the rest of her life....

 

Ender's Game. Always and forever.

 

That kind of happened to me. I won't give up on King, and reread many of his books...but I will never read IT again

All of Lynn Kurland's books (I do this once a year)
The Godfather
The Southern Vampire Mysteries (otherwise known as the Sookie Stackhouse or True Blood books)
One of Victoria Holts books Spring of the Tiger (though I own all her books and read most of them over and over, this particular one was the very first romance book I ever read lol)
Sydney Sheldon's Master of the Game
Jacqueline Susann's Valley of the Dolls and The Love Machine
Judith Krantz's Scruples
John Berendt's Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
All of Paul Harvey's "The rest of the story" books
Poppy Z Brite's Lost Souls
Diana Gabaldon's Outlander
All of Sharyn McCrumb's "Ballad" books: The ballad of Frankie Silver, The Songcatcher, Rosewood Casket, She Walks These Hills, Ghost Rider
All of Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt books (pre-Dirk Pitt Jr)
John Jakes Bicentennial Series and the North & South Series

 

There are very few books that I like to read more than once...
Above all, one I can read over and over again, is the Petit Prince of Antoine de Saint-Exuperie

 

i don't read many books twice but there's two series i've read by tad williams twice over.

City of Golden Shadow (Otherland,Volume 1): Tad Williams: 9780886777630: Amazon.com: Books

The Dragonbone Chair (Memory,Sorrow,and Thorn,Book 1): Tad Williams: 9780756402693: Amazon.com: Books

i'd say they're somewhere between tolkien and stephen king, with otherland being bent toward sci fi and m/s/t fantasy. both excellent, in fact i think i'll pickup one on kindle today.

 

I was revisiting this thread, and realized I missed this the first time around. I haven't read that one, but The Ordinary Princess (by the same author) has been one of my very favorite books since I was a kid (and also, one of those books I read over and over and over.) I'm not really a huge fan of historical fiction, but I'll definitely have to check out The Far Pavilions.

 

DSM-IV-TR

 

OMG, ditto on that book cover. Seriously.

 

Recently read Exodus for the third or fourth time

 

I reread the whole Harry Potter series typically once a year within the span of 2 weeks. No shame.

 

I read the entire series last summer for the first time, and since then, I think I've read Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows about four times each. ALL THE FEELS.

 

Half-Blood Prince makes me cry. I'll admit it.
