Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is another favourite, along with The Silver Metal Lover by Tanith Lee.

I have others though, I'll have to think about those.
P&p I read all the time. Also all the tamora pierce books. And harry potter. i can never get over Harry Potter.

I often reread books written by John Maxwell. I usually refer to them for inputs on how to handle certain situations at work.

If you run the numbers, their are already more books out there than you could read in a lifetime. Lets say you live to 100 years old, never slept and could read a book in an hour (starting when you were born). In that incredible lifetime of reading you could only squeeze in 876,000 books.
That makes me want to start looking for the fountain of youth. I've got a lot of books to squeeze in! I'm behind schedule!!!

For me it has got to be the Harry Potter series. I just find them so refreshing and addictive. There are clearly some faults in the later books but the earlier in the series are purely magical...

My #1 reread is 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil' as I still can't believe that this non-fiction isn't actually fiction. What a bunch of fascinating people!

Sarah dessen's the truth about forever. I've read it about 7 times and each time i learn something different about myself from reading it. Truly a book that came to me when I needed it most

Honestly, the Bible. But as far as fiction goes...the book that comes to mind is goddess of yesterday. It's a super great book.

I actually read very few books more than once. I can only think of two books I have read on more than two occasions. Dracula and 1984.

I've read the Percy Jackson series the most. It's mainly because of the Blood of Olympus books coming out. I forget about the whole series and the characters and a new book comes out. I NEED to read the Blood of Olympus so it forces me to re-read the whole Percy Jackson series. I've re-read it about 4 times now. I've also re-read a lot of Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. When I'm not into reading a whole book, I just pick up one of them and read them. I've read them like 10 times now but I laugh every time.

I go through Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" once a year. Its like a personal tradition. A newer one that I've been re-reading a lot is "Between Shades of Gray" by Ruta Sepetys. It's such a great book.

Ohh yes!! Me too, I do enjoy reading Artemis Fowl over and over again. I've also just finished rereading the whole of the Harry Potter series just in time for my trip to the Warner Bro's Harry Potter Studios :)

The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. Each time I read it, I discover a new piece of information I feel like I missed the last time. It's truly a work of art, and I cannot wait to read the new book, Words of Radiance.

The book that I've probably reread more than any other is The Count of Monte Cristo by Dumas. I don't know what it is about this book, but I love how the main character exacts his revenge...and then in the end comes to regret the lengths to which he punished some of his enemies.
