I'm not sure if I'd really include it because it's fairly recent, but George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series blew me away, and seems to reveal new things (symbolism, foreshadowing, etc.) on repeated readings. |
I read Stephen King's IT like twenty-five times throughout my year in the fifth grade...which might explain why I am the way that I am...
other books that I have read to shreds: Every damn book by Stephen King The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide - Douglas Addams Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett Chronicles Of Majipoor (The Lord Valentine Trilogy) - Robert Silverberg The Accidental Tourist - Anne Tyler -Any book worth reading is worth re-reading - do you really think you got it all the first time?- |
For me:
Small Gods (By Terry Pratchett, part of the Discworld series) The Stand (Stephen King) The Princess Bride (William Goldman) |

Harry Potter- it makes me feel like a kid again:)
Also Catherine Coultier- the Bride trilogy, the Legacy trilogy, and one of my favorites- Nora Roberts' Homeport. http://www.homestead.com/McHawkson/files/coolkitten.gif |
