Which books have you read multiple times?

[GatorDeb]

I've only read 2 books multiple times. I read Catcher In The Rye twice, and now I'm reading The Giver for the third time. I want to re-read The Sound And The Fury.

[conscience]

Election, Tom Perrotta

I actually think that's the only novel that I've read more than once. :o

[DJLinus]

Aside from "The Far Side" and "Bloom County" collections, Catcher in the Rye, A Farewell to Arms, Holidays on Ice (David Sedaris), Parliament of Whores (P.J. O'Rourke)

I've listened to a couple of David Sedaris' books on CD multiple times.

[Fist of Doom]

I've read The Hobbit numerous times. It was the first book I fell in love with as a kid.

[Lastyear]

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Kurt Vonnegut's pre 1975 books. Water Music by T.C. Boyle. All of Raymond Chandler and Ross MacDonald. John D. MacDonald's Travis McGee books.

[Bibliophile4]

John Berendt's Midnight In the Garden of Good & Evil, Wuthering Heights, and Marion Zimmer Bradley's The Mists of Avalon.

The Phantom Tollbooth and Catcher in the Rye

[dtcarson]

Stranger in a Strange Land
Youth in Revolt
Replay
Phantom Tollbooth (once with my boy, so sharing with him is a little different from just rereading it on my own)
D'auliare's Greek Myths
Probably a couple more Heinlein or Asimov books.

[TimeandTide]

Aside from the books I teach, the only ones I've read multiple times are The Road, Blackhawk Down, Be True to Your School, and The Princess Bride.

Wheel of Time series around 8 or 9 times
Ender's Game roughly 20 times
Belgariad and Mallorean roughly 10 times

[ninjalove]

Any Nabokov book needs to be read 12 times.

[Josh-da-man]

I've probably read Neuromancer seven or eight times.

[GatorDeb]

Ender's Game roughly 20 times
Belgariad and Mallorean roughly 10 times
Riftwar, Riftwar Legacy, Serpentwar, and the series with Talon in it roughly 4 or 5 times

You win. Thread closed.

P.S. just kidding ;) That's a lot of reading, though.

[tasha99]

Pride and Prejudice is pretty much the only book I can think of having read several times due to my own choice (I'm assuming you mean novels--I've read several poetry books over and over). I've reread some books for classes, and other books aloud to my kids, but I'm not counting those.

[JP5683]

Lots, I read pretty quick.

Right now, I'm re-reading the Earth's Children series for about the fifth time.

[celmendo]

Golden Torc and Intervention series by Julian May. Love those
Dune
LOTR & Hobbit
The Stand - Stephen King
Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand
Sonja Blue series - Nancy Collins

All twice, I'm sure there are others.

[Rockmjd23]

LOTR/Hobbit
most Crichton books
a bunch of horror encyclopedias
The Bible

[iggystar]

I can't think of any book since I was little that I've re-read. Back in the day I read my Judy Blume's over and over, but there are too many new books I want read for me to revisit any now.

[jdodd]

Dune series (I think I've gone 3 or 4 with those)
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series (5 or 6 times)
Salem's Lot and The Stand (Stephen King)
1984
Catch-22
A Clockwork Orange
Ender's Game

I'm sure there are others, but none are leaping to mind right now.

[Bibliophile4]

Lots, I read pretty quick.

Right now, I'm re-reading the Earth's Children series for about the fifth time.

I get as far as the third book and then stop re-reading. :(

[Ephemeral_Life]

John Christopher - The Tripods (many times)
Pausewang - The Last Children of Schewenborn (three or four times)
Harry Potter Series (twice)
Stephen King -The Stand (twice)
Stephen King - Dark Tower I through IV (twice)
Tolkien - The Hobbit/The Lord of the Rings (twice)

There are several nonfiction books I have read partially or completely several times.

[mlemmond]

I usually read The Count Of Monte Cristo once a year or every other year.

[Giles]

Lord of the Rings / The Hobbit

I want to read the 'His Dark Materials' books since I just saw for the second time 'The Golden Compass' movie which still seemed like a jumbled mess.
