My most reread book is Tom Holland || Lord of the dead.
It's a historical horror novel about the poet Lord Byron.
I'm a writer of some sorts and I find that whenever I'm in a writers block reading this book helps through it.
What's even fantastic about this book is that it almost reads as poetry itself, if you allow yourself read it that way. His use of personification still gets me. Descriptions of gothic designs were spot on. Now that I think about it I'm due for a reread.

I rarely reread books but when I do so it is usually The broken april by Ismail Kadare, it is about a young man who is forced to commit murder and about how the past affects the present. It is actually a really sad story, definitely one of my favorites.

I read Harry Potter probably once a year. I also try to read the last few books if not the whole series again every year when there's a new Sigma Force novel by James Rollins coming out.

I reread The Hobbit pretty much once a year at minimum. It's a long time favourite and it never ceases to be a joy to read.

I, too, have reread Of Mice and Men. The other one I really enjoy is Lord of the Flies. I like delving into the character development and thriller/mystery aspects of these books.

Books I read over and over tend to be books from childhood. They're comforting, you know? Though I've moved several times, I've kept Gail Carson Levine's Ella Enchanted and Marianne Curley's Old Magic with me. I love those stories and re-read them whenever I'm feeling down and/or nostalgic.

Oh my god, The Hobbit blew my mind as a kid, but it took forever to get my own copy. I bought the movie cover version, and my partner and I are still playing tug-of-war over who gets to read it first.

I would have to say its a toss up between Green Rider by Kristen Britain and The Martian by Andy Weir. I could read both a hundred times over and still find something new I love about their stories.

The Hobbit is my favourite book and the one I reread the most. Strangely I have loads of copies of it. In all different covers and three different languages. I even have the entire book on a poster!

Yes! I think I have read Ella Enchanted over 20 times. You're right-- it is just comforting. I also re-read Trickster's Choice by Tamora Pierce frequently.

Personally, I don't like re-reading books, articles, or any material. The only book I read over and over is the Holy Bible.
“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.”

YES. I love Tamora Pierce, especially the Protector of the Small Quartet. Kel is extraordinary, and I wanted to be her when I grew up.
