Re: What book do you reread the most?

I can honestly and truly say I have never reread a book unless I started it at one point and didn't finish it. I have two rules when it comes to reading:

1. Never reread anything,
2. Never start a book you aren't going to finish.

I've followed these two rules to the best of my ability for as long as I can remember.

I typically don't reread novels. I will reread novels in a series if there's a long time between releases of other books in the series. I have reread a few Stephen Kings books before the movie or television series comes out.

When I was a kid, I'd just keep checking out the Harry Potter books in my school library. Over, and over, and over again. Kids used to think I was insane for reading those huge books so many times.

I re-read anything YA contemporary. I love the cute, romantic type of reads that relaxes me. To date, Golden by Jessi Kirby is my most read book. I've read it thrice now.

A Court of Thorns and Roses trilogy. I really love the second book. I usually read it when I'm in a slump and can't decide what to read next.

I've read The Odyssey by Homer more times than any other book. I wouldn't say it's my favorite, but I will say that I learn something new every single time I read it. I've only read The Iliad a few times, but I wasn't very thorough. After hearing a couple lectures this summer, I'm looking forward to reading it again, as the lectures have given me new perspevtive.

I reread old favorites, Little Women, Freckles, Girl of the Limberlost. Also, reread, The Robe.
As a life-long reader, I will reread any book I enjoyed!
But I never get tired of these I mentioned.

I reread Harry Potter all the time. I have probably gone through the whole series 6 times. My favorite book in the series is The Prisoner of Azkaban.

I think POA is my fave Harry Potter book in the series. The plot twist was insane, the build up of Sirius Black's character, the black dog, the dementors, the unravelling of Scabbers as Peter Pettigrew and every other twist and turn.

I have read Praying Successfully by Charles Spurgeon more times than I can remember and more than any other book apart from the Bible.

I love to re-read any older children books such as Winnie the Pooh or Peanuts comics and Fairy tales because no matter how old I am they are still so entertaining and easy to read again and again.

I am rereading The Iliad right now. I am starting the Great Books of the Western World collection and The Iliad is the first book. I am definitely getting more out of it this time. It has been many years since the last time I read it.

The book I have reread the most is Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin. I was so excited when I first heard about the movie, but it was utterly disappointing.
