I very rarely read a book more than once, the only one I can recall is The Little Prince by Antoine St Exupery, that's one that I come back to every few years to remind me that life needn't been so complicated as I make it sometimes!

I think that I accidentally read a few Stephen King novels more than once, because I hadn't realized that I had read them before until after I had already started rereading them.

To Kill a Mockingbird I first read it when I was 14 and, since then, have read it 8 or 9 times. It's a good book and the older I get the more I understand the underlying themes.

I reread Jane Austen's novels - they have a good pace for rereading.

I actually find it difficult to reread books because I worry that I could be reading a new one!! but having said that, I cant stay away from a yearly read of:


Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis (I usually read Magician's nephew once at the beginning and then again at the end of the chronicles)
Hating Alison Ashley by Robin Klein
Heaven, and the Doppelganger series (Flowers in the Attic etc) by Virginia Andrews
Through The Looking Glass (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Part 2) by Lewis Carroll
Remember Me and Whisper of Death by Christopher Pike
The Enchanted Wood, The Folk of the Faraway Tree, The Adventures of the Wishing Chair, and The Wishing Chair Again by Enid Blyton.




Wow...I really need to grow up. hehe :)

Same here, and also some James Herbert so far. But I plan to re read most of my books.

Well, I try to read through the Bible at least twice a year... Sorry if some don't consider that a book, but it is quite life altering for me. :)

Others include:

The Conqueror Worms by Brian Keene
Ghoul by Brian Keene
Bad Things by Tamara Thorne
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Starship Trooper by Robert A. Hienlien
Brave New World by Aldious Huxley
1984 by George Orwell
A Song of Ice and Fire Series by George R.R. Martin

That's it for now... I know there's more, but can't think of 'em right now.

PEACE AND LOVE,
